Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0AA9. 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+0AA9 to binary:
00001010 10101001. 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:
11100000 10101010 10101001

Description
U+0AA9 is a special Unicode character representing the "MODIFIER LATIN SMALL LETTER A". It is commonly used in digital text to indicate an accent that can be applied to the Latin letter 'A'. This allows for the representation of different pronunciations, intonations or emphasis in various languages that use the Latin alphabet. U+0AA9 is part of a larger set of modifier letters and diacritics, which play a significant role in the accurate transcription of linguistic sounds, enabling clear communication across multiple cultures and languages. It is particularly prevalent in typography for European languages where accented characters are commonly used, such as French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The character itself is not associated with any specific cultural or linguistic context beyond its utility in modifying the pronunciation of 'A'. In summary, U+0AA9 serves a technical purpose in digital text, allowing for the accurate representation of accented Latin letters across various languages and cultures.
