Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ằ has the Unicode code point U+1EB0. 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+1EB0 to binary:
00011110 10110000
. 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:
11100001 10111010 10110000
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND GRAVE·U+1EB0

Description
The Unicode character U+1EB0, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND GRAVE, plays a significant role in digital text representation by providing an accurate depiction of the specific phonetic or linguistic traits of certain languages. It is predominantly utilized in the Romance languages, such as French, Portuguese, and Italian, where it represents a distinct sound that may not be represented by standard Latin characters. The character's unique combination of diacritics - the breve (a horizontal line under the letter) and the grave accent (an acute vertical line through the letter) - serves to differentiate it from similar characters in the Unicode system. It is particularly useful for maintaining accuracy in digital texts that involve these languages or any other context where such a specific phonetic distinction is necessary.
