Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẹ has the Unicode code point U+1EB8. 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+1EB8 to binary:
00011110 10111000
. 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 10111010 10111000

Description
U+1EB8, also known as Latin Capital Letter E with Dot Below, is a typographical character used in digital text to represent an uppercase version of the letter 'E' with a dot below its baseline. This unique symbol is often employed to convey emphasis or special styling in written content. While not universally recognized within the English language, it plays a significant role in certain cultural contexts and typography design. The character can be found in Unicode, a standardized system for encoding, displaying, and processing text across various platforms, devices, and programming languages. By using U+1EB8, designers and writers can introduce distinct visual elements to their work while maintaining accuracy and fidelity in digital communication.
