Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ấ has the Unicode code point U+1EA4. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 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+1EA4 to binary:
00011110 10100100. 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+1EA4 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents the Latin capital letter A with circumflex and acute (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND ACUTE). This unique typographical element plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of certain words, phrases, or proper nouns in languages like French, where the accent marks are essential to convey correct pronunciation and meaning. The combination of the circumflex (^) and acute (´) accents over the letter 'A' may denote a specific sound or function within the language, such as lengthening a vowel or marking an archaic term. In digital text, U+1EA4 ensures that these nuances are preserved in written communication, contributing to the overall accuracy and cultural authenticity of texts that employ such accented characters. As a result, the character U+1EA4 is indispensable for linguists, translators, typographers, and digital content creators who work with languages that utilize the Latin script but require additional accent marks for precise meaning and pronunciation.
