Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ỻ has the Unicode code point U+1EFA. 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+1EFA to binary:
00011110 11111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+1EFA, known as the Latin Capital Letter Middle-Welsh LL, plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the context of the Welsh language. This distinct letter is crucial for preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural identity of Welsh speakers. Typically used in digital text, this character is part of the Unicode Standard which enables accurate and consistent encoding of text across various platforms, software applications, and devices. The Middle-Welsh LL character is an essential component in the representation of historical documents and preserving the linguistic history of the Welsh language. It serves as a crucial tool for researchers, linguists, and educators who study and teach Middle-Welsh, an early form of the modern Welsh language.
