Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+193D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+193D to binary:
00011001 00111101. 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:
11100001 10100100 10111101

Description
U+193D is a unique Unicode character with the hex code 0073. This particular character holds significant importance in the realm of digital text due to its role as an uppercase Roman letter "S" with a caron (ˇ) above it. The caron, or hat, is a diacritical mark commonly used in several European languages, such as Czech and Slovak, to indicate palatalization or changes in pronunciation. In digital text, U+193D often serves as a typographical element to convey specific linguistic nuances in texts written in languages that utilize the caron for palatalization. As an uppercase letter "S" with this diacritic, it is commonly employed in Czech and Slovak proper nouns, such as names of people or places, or in technical terms and scientific notations that require the use of a capitals-only presentation. In cultural and linguistic contexts, U+193D might be found in texts related to Eastern European literature, historical documents, scientific publications, or technical manuals that utilize this particular character for its distinctive pronunciation marking. The character's technical use lies mainly within its role as a diacritic to indicate changes in the sound of a letter rather than serving an aesthetic purpose.
