Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ạ has the Unicode code point U+1EA1. 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+1EA1 to binary:
00011110 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+1EA1, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DOT BELOW," is a typographical character in the Unicode standard. This character is typically used in digital text to denote a lowercase 'a' with a dot below it, creating a visual distinction from the regular lowercase 'a.' In terms of linguistic context, this character can be found in various languages that incorporate diacritical marks for specific phonetic or orthographic purposes. Although its usage is relatively limited compared to other common Unicode characters, it serves an important role in accurately representing certain sounds and words in specific languages or dialects. Overall, the Latin Small Letter A with Dot Below (U+1EA1) is a crucial element in digital typography, providing accuracy and precision for linguistic representation across diverse languages and scripts.
