Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẟ has the Unicode code point U+1E9F. 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+1E9F to binary:
00011110 10011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+1E9F, also known as Latin Small Letter Delta, is a character used primarily in typography and digital text representation. It is a lowercase form of the Greek letter delta, which represents the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. Although not commonly used in standard English texts, the character has a significant role in certain linguistic contexts, particularly in mathematics, where it is often utilized as a symbol for change or variation. In this capacity, U+1E9F is frequently employed to denote a small difference between two values or quantities. Its usage can also be observed in scientific notations and programming languages as an escape character or identifier. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard further underscores its importance for accurate digital text representation across various platforms, applications, and scripts.
