Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ể has the Unicode code point U+1EC3. 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+1EC3 to binary:
00011110 11000011
. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1EC3 represents the "Latin Small Letter E with Circumflex and Hook Above" in typography. This unique symbol is utilized in digital text, primarily for its distinctive appearance in certain languages, particularly in Romanian, where it serves as a letter of the alphabet. In the context of cultural and linguistic significance, this character holds importance in Romanian orthography, acting as a combination of two diacritical marks: the circumflex (ˆ) and the acute accent (´). The combination signifies a specific phonetic value for the character 'e', which is pronounced as [ə], a mid central unrounded vowel sound. In a technical context, this character has been part of the Unicode standard since version 3.0, under the Latin Extended-A block, to ensure accurate digital representation and preservation of the diverse linguistic nuances that it represents.
