Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ặ has the Unicode code point U+1EB6. 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+1EB6 to binary:
00011110 10110110
. 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+1EB6, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND DOT BELOW, is a specialized Unicode character often used in digital text for various purposes related to typography, linguistics, and cultural representation. In its typical usage, this character serves as an accentuated form of the standard Latin capital letter 'A'. The addition of the breve (a horizontal line under the character) indicates a long vowel sound, while the dot below distinguishes it from other similar characters or phonetic variations in certain languages. Its notable cultural and linguistic context lies in its usage for representing specific sounds and pronunciations within certain dialects or languages that require this unique combination of accents. Overall, U+1EB6 plays a vital role in accurately representing the nuances of various languages and dialects through digital text, ensuring proper communication and understanding across diverse cultural backgrounds.
