Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ĩ has the Unicode code point U+0129. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 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+0129 to binary:
00000001 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+0129, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH TILDE," plays a significant role in digital text by serving as an important representation of the letter 'í' in various languages that utilize the Latin script with tilde diacritics. This character is commonly used to represent the sound and spelling of words in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Galician, and Catalan, where it denotes a pronunciation distinct from the letter 'i'. In digital text, U+0129 ensures accurate representation of these linguistic nuances by providing a unique code for the letter with its specific diacritic mark. This helps maintain clarity and precision in communication across different platforms and devices, supporting multilingualism and fostering global understanding.
