Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ễ has the Unicode code point U+1EC4. 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+1EC4 to binary:
00011110 11000100. 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 10111011 10000100

Description
The character U+1EC4, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND TILDE, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly in the context of typography and Unicode standard. As part of the Latin alphabet family, it is used to represent the specific phonetic or orthographic characteristics of certain languages, such as French and Portuguese dialects. In these languages, this character is utilized to denote both nasalization and palatalization sounds that are crucial in pronunciation and comprehension. The circumflex (^) represents a historical change in sound from earlier stages of the language, while the tilde (~) often denotes a nasalized vowel or palatalization, making it indispensable for accurate linguistic representation. As a typographical feature, the character U+1EC4 adds depth and versatility to digital texts, enabling users and developers to craft more authentic and culturally appropriate content. Its usage in digital text is growing increasingly prevalent with the continued expansion of Unicode support and global language diversity.
