Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ắ has the Unicode code point U+1EAF. 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+1EAF to binary:
00011110 10101111. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1EAF, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND ACUTE," is a special glyph used in digital text to represent the letter 'a' with both a breve and an acute accent. This character is utilized primarily within the context of typography for specific languages or scripts that employ these diacritical marks, enhancing clarity and readability. One such language is the extinct Old Prussian language, in which this symbol played a crucial role. The combination of the breve and the acute accent in U+1EAF is unique and not commonly found in other Latin-based scripts. However, it demonstrates the versatility and richness of Unicode in providing an extensive range of characters to represent various languages, dialects, and orthographic features.
