Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṓ has the Unicode code point U+1E52. 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+1E52 to binary:
00011110 01010010
. 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 10010010

Description
U+1E52, or LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH MACRON AND ACUTE, is a unique typographic character in the Unicode standard that combines two diacritical marks - a macron and an acute accent - with the Latin capital letter "O". This combination of diacritics can be found in various programming languages, text editors, and digital platforms, where it serves to indicate specific phonetic or grammatical features in certain languages. The character's role is often cultural or linguistic, as it may represent a distinct sound or letter in specific dialects or alphabets around the world. For example, it can be used in the Aymara language spoken in the Andes region of South America, where it represents a unique phoneme that does not exist in English or other widely-spoken languages. By accurately incorporating U+1E52 into digital text, developers and content creators ensure a broader representation of global linguistic diversity and enhance the understanding of different cultures and languages in their work.
