Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ạ has the Unicode code point U+1EA0. 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+1EA0 to binary:
00011110 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+1EA0 is the Unicode code point for the character "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DOT BELOW". This typographic symbol finds its use predominantly in digital text, primarily in languages that employ the Latin script. In a broader context, this character is employed to enhance the aesthetics and readability of certain typefaces. The inclusion of the dot below the letter 'A' not only provides an aesthetic enhancement but also serves as a crucial distinction between similar looking characters in certain scripts. It represents a technical nuance that separates it from other Latin capital letters, making it an integral part of typography for clarity and precise representation. While its usage may be subtle, it plays a significant role in ensuring accurate communication through written text across various digital platforms.
