Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḗ has the Unicode code point U+1E17. 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+1E17 to binary:
00011110 00010111. 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 10111000 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+1E17, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON AND ACUTE," is a specialized letter used in digital text to represent a unique phonetic sound or concept in specific linguistic contexts. It combines two diacritical marks, the macron and the acute, with the Latin script's base character 'e'. In typography and Unicode encoding, this character serves as a vital tool for accurate representation of certain languages or dialects where such unique sounds are essential to convey meaning. While it may not be commonly used in everyday digital communication, its importance lies in its ability to support linguistic diversity and provide precise phonetic transcription in specialized texts.
