Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḯ has the Unicode code point U+1E2E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1E2E to binary:
00011110 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+1E2E, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS AND ACUTE, is a specific glyph in the Latin alphabet that combines two diacritical marks: a diaeresis (or umlaut) and an acute accent. In digital text, this character serves to represent the pronunciation of certain vowel sounds in various languages, particularly in German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. The combination of these two diacritical marks is not universally used for any specific language; instead, it provides greater flexibility in expressing phonetic nuances or special pronunciation in transcribed texts. The character is not limited to a particular cultural, linguistic, or technical context but can be employed wherever its unique representation of a vowel sound is required. As an expert typographer, it's crucial to understand that the accurate use of such characters contributes to clear and precise communication across different languages and dialects that utilize these diacritical marks.
