Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẫ has the Unicode code point U+1EAA. 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+1EAA to binary:
00011110 10101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+1EAA, Latin Capital Letter A with Circumflex and Tilde, is a typographical symbol commonly used in various digital text applications. It is primarily employed to denote the 'â' letter in the Romanian alphabet. This character represents a fusion of two diacritical marks: the circumflex (^) and the tilde (~), both originating from French, and traditionally serving distinct functions. The circumflex indicates a change in pronunciation or meaning, while the tilde often denotes a vowel's nasalization. Despite its historical significance in French typography, U+1EAA is predominantly utilized in Romanian language texts today. In digital text formats, this character ensures accurate representation of the intended letter, preserving linguistic nuances and cultural authenticity.
