Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ễ has the Unicode code point U+1EC5. 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+1EC5 to binary:
00011110 11000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+1EC5, the Latin Small Letter E with Circumflex and Tilde, is a unique typographical character that plays an essential role in digital text, particularly in languages such as Portuguese and Spanish. This letter combines two diacritical marks - the circumflex (^) and the tilde (~) - both of which have distinct functions in the written language. The circumflex indicates a change in pronunciation or is used to mark a past participle, while the tilde often denotes nasalization or vowel reduction. The combination of these marks with the base letter "e" creates a distinct character that is crucial for accurate representation and comprehension in these languages. U+1EC5 has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical relevance, as it allows for clear communication and preserves the nuances of speech patterns in written form.
