Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1A1D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1A1D to binary:
00011010 00011101
. 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 10101000 10011101

Description
U+1A1D is a unique Unicode character, representing the "LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON." It is used in digital text to denote a specific letter in various languages that utilize the Latin script, such as Czech and Slovak. The caron (ˇ) above the letter S indicates a change in pronunciation or a distinct phonetic feature of the character, making it crucial for accurate language translation and understanding. In the context of typography, this character plays a significant role in preserving linguistic integrity and ensuring proper communication across different languages that employ the Latin script with additional diacritics.
