Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḝ has the Unicode code point U+1E1D. 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+1E1D to binary:
00011110 00011101
. 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 10011101

Description
U+1E1D, the Latin Small Letter E with Cedilla and Breve, is a specialized character within the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation. Its primary usage is found in typography for specific languages or applications where it's necessary to convey particular phonetic nuances or diacritical marks. The combination of cedilla (˜) and breve (˘) above the letter 'e' distinguishes it from other Latin letters, providing a unique linguistic identity. This character has been employed in various languages and scripts, including Galician, Portuguese, and some African languages, reflecting its multifaceted cultural and linguistic contexts. By incorporating U+1E1D into digital text, one can maintain accuracy and fidelity to the original source material while preserving the character's intended phonetic or diacritical properties.
