Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ậ has the Unicode code point U+1EAD. 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+1EAD to binary:
00011110 10101101
. 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+1EAD, the Latin Small Letter A with Circumflex and Dot Below, is a specialized Unicode character that serves an essential role in digital text representation. It is primarily used in typography for the orthography of certain languages, particularly in regional dialects or specific alphabets where such characters are necessary to convey accurate pronunciation or meaning. This character combines two diacritical marks - a circumflex accent and a dot below the letter 'a' - which can be seen in the writing systems of various indigenous or minority languages. The circumflex, originally denoting palatalization in French, has been adapted for different purposes across diverse linguistic contexts. In the technical realm, U+1EAD facilitates the accurate representation and encoding of these unique characters for digital communication and preservation, thereby ensuring that cultural diversity and linguistic nuances are not lost in the digital age.
