Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḗ has the Unicode code point U+1E16. 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+1E16 to binary:
00011110 00010110
. 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 10010110
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH MACRON AND ACUTE·U+1E16

Description
U+1E16 is a unique Unicode character code that represents the Latin capital letter "E" with both macron and acute accents. In digital text, this character typically serves as an accent mark for the E character to denote specific pronunciation or distinction in certain languages or dialects. While this particular combination of diacritics is not widely used in most linguistic contexts, it may play a role in specialized transcription systems or be utilized by typographers and linguists working with less commonly studied languages. The U+1E16 character is an important part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to standardize and provide a unique code for every character, symbol, and glyph used in written communication worldwide. This ensures accurate representation and transmission of text across different platforms and devices, while also facilitating the development of advanced typography and character-based artistry in digital media.
