Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ợ has the Unicode code point U+1EE2. 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+1EE2 to binary:
00011110 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+1EE2, the Latin Capital Letter O with Horn and Dot Below, is a typographic character in Unicode that represents an alphabetic letter. This particular letter is used to convey various linguistic or stylistic nuances within digital text, often for purposes of aesthetic enhancement or to maintain consistency with specific typefaces. While it may not have a widely recognized cultural significance, its use can be found across numerous languages and scripts that employ the Latin alphabet. The character's distinct design, featuring a horn-shaped ascender on the left side and a dot below the base line, distinguishes it from other capital O characters in Unicode. It is most commonly employed to maintain typographic consistency within a document or design when using specialized typefaces that include this particular letterform.
