Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ệ has the Unicode code point U+1EC6. 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+1EC6 to binary:
00011110 11000110. 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
U+1EC6, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND DOT BELOW, is a specialized Unicode character commonly employed in digital text to represent a unique variation of the letter 'E' with both a circumflex and a dot below. This particular combination of diacritics adds distinct phonetic and orthographic nuances to the base character in various languages or typography applications. The circumflex, represented by the hat-like symbol (^) above the letter, historically indicates nasalization in some Romance languages like French. However, in this context, the circumflex does not serve a phonetic purpose but instead acts as an aesthetic marker for the character's distinct form. The dot below, on the other hand, is often used to indicate stress or a special pronunciation in certain words. While U+1EC6 may not be widely used in everyday digital communication, it holds significance in specific typography projects, linguistic studies, and cultural works that demand the representation of unique letterforms or specialized orthographies. In such cases, this character provides an accurate digital representation for the specific graphical variation of the letter 'E' with both a circumflex and a dot below, allowing for greater precision and authenticity in the text.
