Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ỡ has the Unicode code point U+1EE0. 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+1EE0 to binary:
00011110 11100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1EE0, known as "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH HORN AND TILDE," serves a distinct purpose in digital text by representing a modified form of the uppercase letter 'O'. This unique character is used to convey specific linguistic or cultural nuances in written communication. The horn and tilde elements are added to the base character to signify variations in pronunciation, accentuation, or phonetic distinctions within certain languages that utilize the Latin script. These alterations are essential for accurate representation of speech sounds and proper interpretation by readers familiar with these language-specific nuances. While U+1EE0 may not be widely used in everyday digital text, it holds considerable importance for linguists, typographers, and those working with less common languages that employ such diacritical marks to differentiate words or convey meaning.
