Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṳ has the Unicode code point U+1E72. 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+1E72 to binary:
00011110 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
The character U+1E72, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS BELOW, plays a significant role in digital text by providing an accurate representation of certain linguistic nuances. This Unicode character is primarily used in the Alemannic dialect of the German language, where it serves to denote a specific pronunciation of the letter "U". In this dialect, the letter U with diaeresis below (̈) is utilized to signify that the vowel sound is pronounced as an u-diphthong, i.e., "oo" rather than the standard "u". The presence of this character in digital texts enables accurate transcription and preservation of linguistic characteristics specific to certain dialects, thereby facilitating more effective communication among speakers of different regional variations.
