Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ầ has the Unicode code point U+1EA6. 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+1EA6 to binary:
00011110 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+1EA6, known as the "Latin Capital Letter A with Circumflex and Grave," is a unique typographical character used in digital text. This symbol combines two diacritical marks, the circumflex (^) and the grave (`) accent, over the Latin letter 'A'. In digital typography, it serves to indicate an elongated 'A' sound in certain words, with its usage predominantly found in the French language. The character represents a combination of two distinct accents, where the circumflex usually denotes nasalization and the grave often signifies nasalization or palatalization. Although not widely used in everyday digital text due to the rarity of words that require both accents on an 'A', it remains significant for those working with French linguistic texts, historical documents, and certain regional dialects. The combination of these diacritics emphasizes the importance of accurate representation in digital typography and underscores the richness of global language expression.
