Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẵ has the Unicode code point U+1EB5. 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+1EB5 to binary:
00011110 10110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+1EB5, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE AND TILDE," is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent an accented letter within certain linguistic contexts. This particular letter combines the characteristics of two diacritical marks: a breve and a tilde. In terms of its role, it is most commonly seen in the Catalan language, where it serves as a modified version of the regular 'a' character. Catalan is a Romance language spoken primarily in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, and it is also spoken by communities in parts of France, Italy, and other regions with historical connections to Spain. The use of the U+1EB5 character helps maintain the distinct pronunciation and phonetic qualities associated with the Catalan language, as the letter 'a' with a breve and tilde (ă) is pronounced differently than an unaccented 'a'. In digital text, U+1EB5 allows for accurate representation of Catalan words that include this specific character, ensuring correct pronunciation and understanding among native and non-native speakers alike. By accurately depicting the nuances of the language in written form, U+1EB5 contributes to the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity.
