Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḝ has the Unicode code point U+1E1C. 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+1E1C to binary:
00011110 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1E1C, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CEDILLA AND BREVE", is a unique typographical element that serves specific linguistic and cultural purposes in digital text. This character is typically used in the Portuguese language to represent the sound [ɛ], which is distinct from both the letter "E" and the combination of the letters "E with cedilla". The presence of the cedilla (~) indicates a pronunciation that differs from the standard "E", while the breve (˘) denotes a short vowel sound. This character helps maintain accuracy in digital text, ensuring that the intended pronunciation and meaning are conveyed correctly, especially in written forms of the Portuguese language such as Galician or Brazilian Portuguese. By accurately representing these nuances, U+1E1C plays a critical role in preserving linguistic heritage and fostering effective communication in diverse cultural contexts.
