Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ắ has the Unicode code point U+1EAE. 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+1EAE to binary:
00011110 10101110
. 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+1EAE, also known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND ACUTE", is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard. This character finds its typical usage or role in digital text, particularly in linguistic contexts that require accented letters for proper pronunciation and spelling. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND ACUTE represents an 'A' with a breve (a horizontal line under the letter) and an acute accent (an upward-pointing straight line). This unique combination of diacritical marks is used in certain regional dialects and languages, such as some varieties of Icelandic or Faroese. In these languages, the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND ACUTE is employed to convey specific phonetic characteristics not represented by other letters or combinations of diacritics. The accurate and precise representation of such characters in digital text is crucial for clear communication and understanding across various cultures and linguistic communities.
