Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ˇ has the Unicode code point U+02C7. 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+02C7 to binary:
00000010 11000111. 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:
11001011 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+02C7, also known as the CARON or KROKANTI (ḧ), is a diacritical mark commonly used in various languages to indicate a palatalized consonant. It plays a crucial role in digital text representation by assisting readers in correctly pronouncing and understanding words in languages like Czech, Slovak, and some Slavic and Baltic languages. The caron is placed over certain consonants to signify their palatalization, altering the original sound of the letter and indicating a distinct phoneme. This diacritical mark is significant for preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating accurate communication in the mentioned languages.
