Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẃ has the Unicode code point U+1E82. 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+1E82 to binary:
00011110 10000010
. 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 10111010 10000010

Description
U+1E82, known as the "Latin Capital Letter W with Acute", is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard that plays an important role in digital text representation. This character is part of a range of characters that use the acute accent (´) to denote stress or inflection in words, which is common in various languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The Latin Capital Letter W with Acute is often used in digital texts where precision and clarity are vital, especially in academic, scientific, and technical documents. In these contexts, it allows for more accurate transcription of proper nouns or specific terminology that may contain the acute accent on the letter "W". By accurately representing this character in digital text, communication becomes more precise, reducing the potential for misinterpretation or error.
