Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȗ has the Unicode code point U+0217. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0217 to binary:
00000010 00010111. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:

Description
The Unicode character U+0217, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH INVERTED BREVE", holds a unique role in digital text by representing a specific modification of the letter 'u'. Typically used in typographical settings and linguistic contexts, this character distinguishes itself from the standard lowercase 'u' through its inverted breve, an upside-down hook or stroke placed over the letter. While it may not possess a widespread usage in everyday digital communication, the U+0217 holds significance in specialized fields such as typography and linguistics, where it can be employed to differentiate between various regional dialects, orthographies, or phonetic representations. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this character retains its distinct identity within the expansive digital text landscape.
