Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ự has the Unicode code point U+1EF0. 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+1EF0 to binary:
00011110 11110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1EF0 represents the Latin Capital Letter U with Horn and Dot Below. It is a typographic symbol used primarily in digital text for expressing specific pronunciation in various languages, most notably in the Dutch language, where it is known as 'u' or 'oe'. This character is part of a larger set of letters known as the Latin Extended-A (Latinext-A) Unicode block. The use of this symbol has cultural and linguistic significance in certain regions and contexts, particularly in Dutch dialects such as Limburgian, where it helps distinguish between the sounds 'u' and 'oə'. It is also used to represent specific phonetic features in other languages that employ a similar alphabetical structure. While not widely used, the Latin Capital Letter U with Horn and Dot Below remains an important tool for accurate digital text representation in specific linguistic contexts.
