Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ỉ has the Unicode code point U+1EC8. 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+1EC8 to binary:
00011110 11001000. 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 10111011 10001000

Description
U+1EC8, also known as Latin Capital Letter I with Hook Above, is a specialized Unicode character primarily used in digital typography for representing the uppercase letter "I" with an additional hook accent mark above it. This unique letter form is commonly employed in various languages and scripts to convey specific phonetic or grammatical nuances that may not be represented by the standard Latin capital "I". In digital text, U+1EC8 serves as a crucial component for preserving the accuracy of written communication across diverse linguistic contexts. As a Unicode character, it facilitates global interoperability and ensures accurate representation of text in various applications and platforms. Its usage is rooted in the need to accommodate the richness and diversity of human languages and their respective orthographic systems.
