Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẫ has the Unicode code point U+1EAB. 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+1EAB to binary:
00011110 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+1EAB, or Latin Small Letter A with Circumflex and Tilde (À), is a unique character within the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in digital text. It represents an accented version of the letter 'A', combining both the circumflex (^) and tilde (~) diacritics. This particular combination of diacritics is characteristic of the Occitan language, where it serves as a distinct letter. The character's role in digital text primarily involves representing these specific phonetic nuances within the context of Occitan or other similar languages, contributing to accurate transcription and communication in these linguistic domains. While its usage may be less common compared to more widely used accented characters, U+1EAB remains an essential tool for preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural identity of the languages that employ it.
