Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ỹ has the Unicode code point U+1EF8. 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+1EF8 to binary:
00011110 11111000. 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 10111011 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+1EF8, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH TILDE (Ỿ), is a typographical representation often utilized in digital text. In the realm of linguistics, this letter holds significance for its use in various languages, most notably Spanish and some regional dialects. The character serves to represent the distinct phonetic sound of "y" when accompanied by a tilde, which denotes the palatal lateral approximant consonant sound. This unique pronunciation sets it apart from the regular uppercase "Y". From a technical standpoint, U+1EF8 ensures accurate digital text representation and facilitates seamless communication across diverse languages.
