Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ė has the Unicode code point U+0116. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0116 to binary:
00000001 00010110
. 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:
11000100 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0116, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DOT ABOVE, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent an uppercase letter with a diacritical mark. This character serves a crucial role in various languages and scripts that utilize accented letters, such as Polish or Czech. Its primary function is to indicate the presence of a dot above the standard capital letter "E", subtly distinguishing it from other Latin-based characters without the dot. The use of U+0116 allows for increased readability and clarity in written communication within these linguistic contexts, facilitating accurate representation and understanding of words and phrases. Overall, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH DOT ABOVE is an essential component in digital typography, enabling precise expression of language nuances across diverse cultures and regions.
