Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ỗ has the Unicode code point U+1ED6. 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+1ED6 to binary:
00011110 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1ED6, the Latin Capital Letter O with Circumflex and Tilde, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text. This letter is an uppercase variant of the letter 'O' and includes both a circumflex accent (^) and a tilde (~) diacritical marks. While its typical usage may be less common in everyday digital communication, it plays a crucial role in certain languages and contexts. In the French language, U+1ED6 is used as an alternate form of the letter 'O', representing a sound that does not exist in English or many other languages. The circumflex accent typically denotes a change in pronunciation or a shift in meaning for the preceding consonant, while the tilde often indicates nasalization of the vowel sound. This combination can be found in regional dialects or specific cultural contexts, where it serves to maintain linguistic diversity and preserve local traditions. From a typographical standpoint, U+1ED6 is also an interesting character due to its unique visual properties. The interplay of the circumflex and tilde diacritics adds complexity and depth to the letterform, showcasing the versatility of the Latin script in representing a wide range of phonetic and cultural nuances. In summary, U+1ED6, the Latin Capital Letter O with Circumflex and Tilde, is a specialized character used in digital text for representing specific sounds and meanings in certain languages. Its presence highlights the richness of linguistic diversity and the ability of typography to convey unique cultural contexts through precise use of diacritical marks.
