Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẓ has the Unicode code point U+1E92. 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+1E92 to binary:
00011110 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1E92, "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH DOT BELOW", is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for its unique aesthetic appeal or to convey specific information within certain linguistic contexts. It was introduced into the Unicode Standard to provide a glyph that visually distinguishes it from the standard uppercase "Z". The character's dot below serves as an important distinction in certain languages where the presence or absence of a dot can alter the meaning or pronunciation of words. For instance, in the Esperanto language, the U+1E92 character is used to differentiate between two distinct phonemes: /ʑ/ with a dot and /z/ without a dot. This enables accurate transcription and communication in these languages that use diacritical marks for phonetic or semantic clarity. Its usage is particularly useful in linguistic, typographical, or cultural contexts where precise distinctions are critical to the meaning of text. In addition, this character can be used for visual emphasis or artistic expression in digital texts where such nuances are appreciated by both designers and readers.
