Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḕ has the Unicode code point U+1E15. 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+1E15 to binary:
00011110 00010101. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1E15, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON AND GRAVE," is a letter used primarily in digital text to represent an alphabetic character with specific diacritical marks. This character combines the macron, which denotes a long vowel sound, and the grave accent, which indicates nasalization or a particular pronunciation. In some languages like Samogitian and other lesser-known dialects, U+1E15 represents a distinct phoneme that does not exist in most common languages. The use of this character helps maintain linguistic accuracy and preserves the cultural and linguistic identity of these unique languages.
