Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ổ has the Unicode code point U+1ED4. 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+1ED4 to binary:
00011110 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1ED4, the Latin Capital Letter O with Circumflex and Hook Above, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that plays a significant role in digital text. This special letter is primarily used in the French language and some regional dialects, where it represents the "ô" sound. The circumflex (^) is an ancient diacritical mark that was used to indicate the pronunciation of words. In modern usage, however, the circumflex has been simplified and replaced by the acute accent for most vowels in French. The hook above (ˇ) is another diacritical mark, typically used in Slavic languages to denote palatalization of consonants. When combined with the Latin script, as in U+1ED4, it can represent specific sounds or linguistic features unique to certain dialects. Although U+1ED4 is not widely used in contemporary typography, its presence in the Unicode Standard ensures that it remains accessible for specialized applications and digital documents requiring accurate representation of historical or regional text.
