Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẚ has the Unicode code point U+1E9A. 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+1E9A to binary:
00011110 10011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+1E9A represents the Latin small letter A with right half ring (ᶐ). In its typical usage, this character is found in digital text to represent a unique letter form in certain alphabetic systems. The Latin script, which is the basis for many writing systems across the world, occasionally features variations such as the U+1E9A character to represent distinct phonological or orthographic aspects of particular languages or dialects. While this character might not hold significant cultural or linguistic relevance in a global context, it remains an important symbol within the typographical and orthographic systems of specific regional languages and communities. The use of U+1E9A contributes to the accuracy and authenticity of digital text representation in these contexts, emphasizing the importance of Unicode's comprehensive character set for preserving linguistic diversity and fostering effective communication across various writing systems.
