Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EFB. 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+0EFB to binary:
00001110 11111011. 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 10111011 10111011

Description
U+0EFB is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON AND ACUTE" (CHARACTER 0EFB). This specific character is often employed in digital text to denote a capital letter A with both a macron and acute accent mark. In linguistic terms, it plays an essential role in languages like Latin and its dialects where these accents are necessary for conveying different phonetic or grammatical nuances. The character's primary function is typographic, assisting in the precise representation of various accented characters within digital text, ensuring clarity and correct interpretation by both software systems and human readers. Due to its specialized use, U+0EFB has limited cultural significance outside of specific linguistic contexts but remains an important technical element in digital typography, particularly for languages that rely on accent marks for phonetic or grammatical meaning.
