Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṏ has the Unicode code point U+1E4E. 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+1E4E to binary:
00011110 01001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+1E4E, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH TILDE AND DIAERESIS, is a typographic representation in digital text that combines two diacritical marks, the tilde (~) and diaeresis (¨), with the Latin capital letter "O". Its primary role is to transcribe or denote specific sounds, accents, or phonetic features in certain languages. In the context of linguistics and culture, this character can be found in various regional dialects, particularly within the Spanish language where it represents a distinct pronunciation of the "o" sound. The usage of U+1E4E helps preserve the linguistic integrity and accuracy in transcription while facilitating communication across different languages and dialects that employ these unique sounds. In terms of technical context, this character is encoded within the Unicode Standard to ensure consistency, readability, and interoperability among diverse digital systems, software applications, and websites.
