Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẅ has the Unicode code point U+1E84. 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+1E84 to binary:
00011110 10000100. 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:

Description
U+1E84 is a unique character in the Unicode system that represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W WITH DIAERESIS." This letter is primarily used to denote specific linguistic features or to represent certain phonetic characteristics in digital text. Specifically, the diaeresis above the "W" indicates a diphthong, which is a sound made by combining two vowel sounds in a single syllable. This character plays an essential role in various languages, including some dialects of Swiss German and Alsatian, where it represents distinct phonetic features not present in Standard German or other languages. In digital text processing, the proper usage of U+1E84 ensures accurate representation of these linguistic nuances and helps maintain the integrity of the original text. By understanding the significance of this character and its application across different languages, one can appreciate the versatility and power of Unicode in enabling global communication and digital preservation of diverse cultural expressions.
