Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḩ has the Unicode code point U+1E28. 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+1E28 to binary:
00011110 00101000
. 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 10101000

Description
U+1E28, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH CEDILLA, is a typographic character primarily used in digital text for representing the sound 'h' with a cedilla (ç) in certain languages, such as Catalan or Portuguese. The cedilla is a diacritical mark placed under the letter 'c', and here it serves a similar function under the letter 'h'. This character helps maintain linguistic accuracy in transcribing these sounds in written text, enhancing readability and comprehension for speakers of languages that utilize this sound. The use of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH CEDILLA is guided by the Unicode standard, which establishes a uniform system for encoding, displaying, and handling text in different scripts from around the world.
