Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ẕ has the Unicode code point U+1E94. 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+1E94 to binary:
00011110 10010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1E94, the Latin Capital Letter Z with Line Below, is a Unicode character that serves a specific typographical purpose in digital text. As its name suggests, it is an uppercase variant of the letter "Z" with a horizontal line running below it. While this may seem like a minor modification, it can have significant implications for readability and meaning in certain linguistic or cultural contexts. In typeface design, it is often used to indicate specific pronunciation distinctions or to differentiate between homophones in languages that rely on such diacritical marks. Although its usage is not as widespread as other Unicode characters, the Latin Capital Letter Z with Line Below plays an essential role for typographers and linguists who require precise and accurate representation of certain linguistic elements. As a result, it demonstrates the power of typography in conveying meaning and maintaining clarity within digital text.
