Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṵ has the Unicode code point U+1E74. 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+1E74 to binary:
00011110 01110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+1E74, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH TILDE BELOW, plays a significant role in digital typography by representing an accented capital letter in various Latin-based languages. This specific accent, called the tilde below (˜), gives a distinct pronunciation to the letter "U" when used in words and phrases of certain languages such as Spanish and Portuguese. Although not commonly used due to limited support from software and typefaces, this character is essential for precise and accurate transcription of words that require this unique accentuation. The LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH TILDE BELOW contributes to linguistic accuracy in digital text, preserving the correct pronunciation and meaning of specific terms.
