Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḁ has the Unicode code point U+1E00. 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+1E00 to binary:
00011110 00000000
. 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:

Description
U+1E00 is the Unicode code point for "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING BELOW." This character is a letter from the Latin script that can be found in various digital text formats, such as HTML, CSS, and XML. It typically represents a capital letter 'A' with a diacritical mark below it, which denotes a specific sound or phonetic distinction in certain languages. While primarily used in linguistic contexts where these distinctions are important, the character also serves a technical purpose in digital typography for representing letters with diacritics, helping to maintain accuracy and clarity in text that may be translated or displayed across multiple platforms and devices.
