Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḑ has the Unicode code point U+1E10. 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+1E10 to binary:
00011110 00010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1E10 represents the 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH CEDILLA'. This letter is predominantly used in digital text for its specific linguistic or cultural role. It is commonly utilized within the Portuguese language, particularly in Brazil where it is a part of the standard alphabet. In Portuguese, this character plays an essential role as it serves to distinguish between two similar sounds: 'd' and 'ð'. The use of the cedilla (the diacritic mark represented by the U+1E10 character) gives the Latin letter 'D' a sound value closer to that of the voiced alveolar thorn sound, found in Old English and Icelandic. It also helps differentiate it from 'd', which has a distinct voiced alveolar stop pronunciation. The cedilla is placed under the base character, thereby modifying its phonetic value. The Unicode character U+1E10 is an important part of typography and digital text representation due to its cultural significance in Portuguese-speaking communities and its role in accurately representing distinct sounds within the language.
