Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḑ has the Unicode code point U+1E11. 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+1E11 to binary:
00011110 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The character U+1E11, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CEDILLA," holds a significant role in digital text, particularly for languages that use the Latin script with diacritical marks. This specific character is used to represent the letter 'd' when it carries a cedilla, a small vertical stroke underneath the letter, which alters its pronunciation in certain languages. U+1E11 is particularly important in Portuguese and some Brazilian dialects where it differentiates between the sounds /d/ and /ɥ/. Its use not only ensures accurate communication but also preserves linguistic nuances vital to these languages' identity and understanding. In a digital context, U+1E11 enables precise representation of these unique phonetic characteristics on various platforms, maintaining cultural integrity in global communication.
