Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ḿ has the Unicode code point U+1E3E. 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+1E3E to binary:
00011110 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+1E3E, the Latin Capital Letter M with Acute (ℳ), is a Unicode character commonly used in typography to represent an accentuated uppercase 'M'. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-B subset of Unicode, which comprises characters specific to certain regional languages. The acute accent symbol (´) above the letter signifies an increase in pitch or stress, similar to the Spanish pronunciation of the letter M as "em". In digital text, U+1E3E is used for displaying accented characters and ensuring accurate linguistic representation, which is vital for preserving cultural context and proper language translation. By incorporating this character into a text system, publishers can cater to specific linguistic needs and provide an enhanced user experience for readers who are familiar with such accentuated letters in their respective languages.
