Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḧ has the Unicode code point U+1E26. 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+1E26 to binary:
00011110 00100110
. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+1E26, also known as Latin Capital Letter H with Diaeresis, is a unique typographic representation in the realm of digital text. It plays an important role in various languages that use the Latin alphabet, particularly those influenced by German or Scandinavian orthography. The diaeresis, denoted by two dots above the 'H', indicates that the vowel sound is separate from any adjacent vowels and can signify different pronunciation. This character enables accurate representation of these linguistic nuances in digital text, thus maintaining the integrity of written communication across different languages. U+1E26 has found significant use in linguistic research, language learning resources, and translation services to convey specific phonetic distinctions accurately. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures global accessibility and compatibility for users worldwide.
