Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḅ has the Unicode code point U+1E05. 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+1E05 to binary:
00011110 00000101. 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 10111000 10000101

Description
U+1E05, known as the Latin Small Letter B with Dot Below, is a character in the Unicode standard. This character plays a significant role in digital text by providing an alternative representation of the lowercase letter 'b' in various typographical and linguistic contexts. It features a small dot placed below the letter's vertical stroke, which visually distinguishes it from other similar characters, such as the capital letter B or the Latin Small Letter D with Stroke. The Latin Small Letter B with Dot Below is particularly useful in transcribing languages that require specific accentuation for clarity and correct pronunciation. This character aids in conveying phonetic differences that might not be evident with the standard lowercase 'b'. It can also be utilized to represent typographical variations or artistic choices in written expression. In cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+1E05 has been employed to enhance readability and facilitate accurate communication across diverse languages and scripts. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its compatibility with various digital platforms, software, and devices, thus promoting accessibility and effective communication worldwide.
