Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṅ has the Unicode code point U+1E44. 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+1E44 to binary:
00011110 01000100. 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 10111001 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+1E44, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH DOT ABOVE," is a typographic symbol used in digital text to represent a capital letter 'N' with an added accent mark in the form of a dot above it. Its primary role is to differentiate the accented character from its unaccented counterpart, as it may signify distinct phonetic or orthographic characteristics in certain languages. While it does not have a specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with it, the character can be found in various digital text applications and font sets to provide users with the flexibility to create accented characters as per their requirements. The usage of this character is typically confined to those situations where an accentuated 'N' is needed for phonetic or orthographic clarity, making it a specialized character within the broader Unicode standard.
