Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẑ has the Unicode code point U+1E90. 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+1E90 to binary:
00011110 10010000. 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 10010000

U+1E90, the Latin Capital Letter Z with Circumflex (Ẑ), is a unique character in the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text. It's often used to denote distinct phonetic or orthographic features in specific languages and dialects. In particular, it can be found in several Romance languages, such as Old French and Middle French manuscripts, where it was used to indicate the sound [ʒ] at the beginning of a word. Despite its declining usage in modern typography, the Latin Capital Letter Z with Circumflex remains an important element for those studying historical texts or delving into linguistic variations. In terms of encoding, U+1E90 is part of the Latincapitalletterwithcircumflex range, which comprises uppercase letters with a circumflex accent commonly found in various alphabets and scripts. Overall, U+1E90 demonstrates the versatility and depth of the Unicode standard in representing diverse linguistic expressions.
