Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ứ has the Unicode code point U+1EE8. 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+1EE8 to binary:
00011110 11101000
. 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 10111011 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1EE8 represents the Latin capital letter "U" with a horn and an acute accent (Ú). It is commonly used in digital text to represent the Spanish pronunciation of the letter "U," which is similar to the English "oo" sound. This character holds significant importance in linguistic contexts where the pronunciation of words matters, such as in learning materials or translations for Spanish-speaking audiences. The combination of horn and acute accent on the capital letter U provides a clear visual cue for the specific sound and pronunciation, ensuring accurate communication and reducing ambiguity in text. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1EE8 ensures compatibility across various devices, software, and platforms, facilitating seamless cross-cultural communication.
