Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḓ has the Unicode code point U+1E13. 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+1E13 to binary:
00011110 00010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+1E13, also known as the "Latin Small Letter D with Circumflex Below," is a special character used primarily in typography and digital text. This unique glyph represents a lowercase letter 'd' with a circumflex accent placed below it, giving it a distinctive visual appearance. It serves to differentiate this character from other similar Latin letters, such as 'b' or 'p'. In some linguistic contexts, U+1E13 has been used in specific language developments or alphabetical adaptations. However, its use is relatively rare compared to more common Latin characters. Due to the limited usage of this character in standard languages, it may be found more frequently in digital texts related to typography, design, or coding projects, where special characters are often utilized for aesthetic or functional purposes. In these contexts, U+1E13 can serve as an interesting alternative to the standard lowercase 'd' letter, providing a unique visual element to digital text. Despite its limited practical application, U+1E13 remains a valuable character in the Unicode system for typographers and designers who appreciate the creative potential of specialized glyphs. Its presence in the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be accurately and consistently represented across various platforms, devices, and programming languages.
