Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ế has the Unicode code point U+1EBE. 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+1EBE to binary:
00011110 10111110
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1EBE, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND ACUTE, is a typographical representation used in digital text. This unique character combines two diacritical marks: the circumflex (^) and the acute accent (´). In typography, the circumflex indicates a change in pronunciation or serves as a marker of past participle verb forms, while the acute accent denotes stress on the syllable containing the accented letter. U+1EBE is mainly used in languages such as Romanian and Portuguese, where it helps differentiate between words with similar roots but distinct meanings. It plays an essential role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural identity through the accurate representation of spoken sounds in written text. As digital communication continues to grow, characters like U+1EBE become increasingly important for maintaining diverse linguistic expressions and ensuring clarity in global digital interactions.
