Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẽ has the Unicode code point U+1EBC. 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+1EBC to binary:
00011110 10111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+1EBC (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH TILDE) is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for representing the Spanish letter "E con tilde" (Ẽ, Ẻ). This letter holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in certain regions where it's utilized. The Latin script character, which features an accent mark (~) over the base letter "E," is used to signify various phonetic differences between standard "E" and the accented version. It can be found in some typographic fonts that support extended Unicode characters, enabling accurate representation of the letter in digital communication across multiple languages and platforms. The usage of U+1EBC ensures proper pronunciation and context within text, serving as a vital tool for linguists, translators, and those communicating in regions where this character is commonly used.
