Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+169E. 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+169E to binary:
00010110 10011110. 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 10011010 10011110

Description
U+169E is a specialized character within the Unicode Standard, primarily used for representing the Modifier Letter Small Y with Hook Above (LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE) in digital text. This particular glyph is significant in linguistic and cultural contexts where it serves as a diacritical mark for modifying the sound and pronunciation of vowels, particularly in certain African and Middle Eastern languages. The Modifier Letter Small Y with Hook Above (U+169E) plays an essential role in accurately rendering these unique linguistic characteristics, enabling precise communication and text representation across various applications and platforms that utilize Unicode for typography and digital text processing.
