Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1ACF. 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+1ACF to binary:
00011010 11001111. 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 10101011 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+1ACF represents the letter "Ñ" (U+00D1) with a line below it, also known as "ñ". This is primarily used in digital text to display a lowercase 'n' with an underline, typically found in various languages such as Spanish, Catalan, and Galician. The character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement (U+0100 to U+017F) Unicode block and can be typed using the HTML entity ñ or the numeric code 241. In a linguistic context, "ñ" is used to distinguish between the two phonetic sounds represented by 'n' and 'ñ'. While it may seem like a small detail, the inclusion of such a character in digital text plays an essential role in preserving accuracy and avoiding misinterpretation of language nuances.
