Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẍ has the Unicode code point U+1E8C. 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+1E8C to binary:
00011110 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The character U+1E8C, Latin Capital Letter X with Diaeresis, is a unique typographical symbol that plays an essential role in digital text. It is commonly employed in various languages that utilize the Latin script to represent distinct phonetic or grammatical features. The diaeresis, represented by two dots (¨), signifies a specific pronunciation, syllable division, or stress placement. For instance, in Swiss German dialects, it helps differentiate between similar-sounding words and denotes the diphthong "ei." The U+1E8C character contributes significantly to linguistic precision and cultural representation in digital communication, fostering inclusivity and a more accurate portrayal of diverse languages.
