Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṑ has the Unicode code point U+1E50. 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+1E50 to binary:
00011110 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+1E50, also known as the "Latin Capital Letter O with Macron and Grave," is a specialized character in the Unicode standard that serves a specific role in digital text. This character combines two diacritical marks - the macron (a horizontal line) and the grave accent (an upward-pointing wedge) - to create a single, unique glyph. The macron indicates a long vowel sound, while the grave accent is used to mark nasalization in certain languages. While this character might not be widely used in everyday communication or general text, it has significant importance for linguists and scholars working with specialized alphabets or minority languages that utilize these diacritical marks. In some of these languages, the U+1E50 character can play a vital role in accurately conveying pronunciation and meaning. In conclusion, U+1E50, Latin Capital Letter O with Macron and Grave, is a specialized Unicode character that combines two diacritical marks to create a single glyph. It serves an essential function in digital text for languages that use these markings to indicate pronunciation or other phonetic features, making it an important tool for linguists and scholars working with these unique alphabets.
