Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ṿ has the Unicode code point U+1E7E. 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+1E7E to binary:
00011110 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+1E7E, also known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V WITH DOT BELOW, is a typographic character in the Unicode standard used to represent the uppercase Latin letter 'V' with a dot below it (·) for enhanced clarity or emphasis. In digital text, this character serves primarily as an accent mark or decorative element to differentiate the letter from its base form and add visual interest. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER V WITH DOT BELOW is often used in various design projects, typography exercises, and custom alphabets where a distinctive aesthetic or additional punctuation is desired. However, it has limited usage within linguistic contexts, as it does not represent any specific phonetic or grammatical distinction in a language.
