Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẹ has the Unicode code point U+1EB9. 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+1EB9 to binary:
00011110 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+1EB9, or Latin Small Letter E with Dot Below, is a specialized character often used in digital typography to represent an accented form of the lowercase letter "e". This character is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistency and interoperability across different platforms and languages. In its typical usage, U+1EB9 helps convey specific linguistic nuances in languages such as Dutch, Norwegian, and several African and Asian languages where the sound represented by this letter differs from that of an unaccented "e". This character can be particularly useful for maintaining accurate translations and preserving cultural identity within digital text. By adhering to a rigorous focus on accuracy and avoiding fluff, U+1EB9 ensures proper representation and clarity in written communication across various languages and platforms.
