Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ặ has the Unicode code point U+1EB7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1EB7 to binary:
00011110 10110111
. 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
U+1EB7, or LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND DOT BELOW, is a Unicode character that holds a significant role in digital text. In typography, it is used to represent the lowercase letter 'a' with both a breve (a horizontal line beneath the letter) and a dot below its base form. This combination of diacritical marks is predominantly employed in the Portuguese language for linguistic purposes, serving as a distinct character that differentiates it from other Latin-based scripts. The usage of U+1EB7 allows for more accurate representation and interpretation of words in digital text, facilitating clear communication across cultures and languages. Its precise application of diacritical marks ensures the correct pronunciation and meaning in Portuguese language contexts, contributing to the overall clarity and effectiveness of digital text.
