Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ệ has the Unicode code point U+1EC7. 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+1EC7 to binary:
00011110 11000111
. 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 10111011 10000111

Description
U+1EC7 (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND DOT BELOW) is a specialized Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital typography and text encoding. This unique character combines two diacritical marks, the circumflex and the dot below, with the lowercase letter 'e'. Its typical usage occurs within certain languages or when attempting to represent specific phonetic or orthographic characteristics. The LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND DOT BELOW (U+1EC7) is found primarily in the Romanian language, where it represents a distinct sound and carries linguistic significance. In this context, the character helps maintain accuracy in written communication, ensuring that speakers of the language can easily recognize the intended pronunciation of words containing this unique letter combination. In terms of technical context, the character U+1EC7 is part of the Unicode Standard, a system designed to represent and encode text from all known writing systems across the world. This comprehensive encoding scheme facilitates accurate digital communication across diverse languages and scripts by providing a universal reference for each character's unique form and function. While its usage may be relatively niche compared to more widely used characters, the LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND DOT BELOW (U+1EC7) remains an important component in digital typography and text encoding systems, reflecting the rich diversity of human languages and cultural expressions.
