Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḅ has the Unicode code point U+1E04. 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+1E04 to binary:
00011110 00000100. 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 10111000 10000100

Description
U+1E04, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B WITH DOT BELOW", is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text. It is primarily used to represent the letter 'B' with a dot below it, providing an alternative to the standard capital 'B'. This character is particularly useful for typesetting and graphic design purposes, as it helps distinguish lowercase and uppercase letters more effectively when using mixed case or small capitals. Although not widely adopted in everyday language use, U+1E04 has found its place in certain cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, such as creating custom fonts for specific projects, illustrating the versatility of Unicode characters, and adding visual variety to digital texts.
