Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḟ has the Unicode code point U+1E1E. 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+1E1E to binary:
00011110 00011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1E1E represents the Latin Capital Letter F with Dot Above (ꞥ). In digital text, this character is commonly employed to denote a capital letter "F" that features a dot above it. While not part of the standard English alphabet, this symbol can be found in various other languages and writing systems. Its usage is predominantly cultural or stylistic, serving as an accent mark rather than a significant alteration of the base character. The Latin Capital Letter F with Dot Above holds no linguistic value in terms of modifying meaning but can be employed to enhance visual appeal, maintain typographical consistency, or reflect localized orthography conventions. In these contexts, U+1E1E plays a minor yet essential role in the vast landscape of digital text and typography.
