Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṱ has the Unicode code point U+1E70. 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+1E70 to binary:
00011110 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1E70, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH CIRCUMFLEX BELOW, is a typographical representation used in digital text. It serves a specific role in linguistic and cultural contexts where diacritical marks are employed to modify the pronunciation or meaning of letters. The character features a circumflex accent placed below the capital letter 'T', which visually distinguishes it from the standard Latin capital letter T (U+0042). U+1E70 is often used in languages such as French and Portuguese, where the circumflex signifies a change in pronunciation or indicates an archaic form of the letter. In these languages, the character may be employed for proper nouns, historical terms, or to convey specific phonetic nuances not achievable with the base letter alone. As digital communication and text representation continue to evolve, characters like U+1E70 remain crucial for preserving linguistic diversity and accuracy in written expression.
