Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ế has the Unicode code point U+1EBF. 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+1EBF to binary:
00011110 10111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+1EBF is a Unicode character that represents the letter "e" with both a circumflex (^) and an acute (´) accent in digital text. This special character combines two diacritical marks, which are used to modify the base character's pronunciation or meaning. The circumflex indicates a nasalized sound, while the acute signifies a high pitch or stress on the syllable containing the letter. U+1EBF is primarily utilized in the French language, where it represents the nasalized vowel sound "ɛ̃" and the pronunciation of certain words like "féminin" (feminine) and "réalisation" (realization). The character is also found in other Romance languages, such as Occitan and Corsican, where it serves similar functions. In terms of technical context, U+1EBF is part of the Latin Extended-A (Latina Extensa) Unicode block, which comprises additional characters necessary for a comprehensive representation of various European languages beyond the standard Latin alphabet.
