Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẽ has the Unicode code point U+1EBD. 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+1EBD to binary:
00011110 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+1EBD, also known as the Latin Small Letter E with Tilde (ẹ), is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text representation. It is primarily used in languages such as Portuguese, Yoruba, and other Nigerian languages, where it represents a distinct phoneme or sound not represented by the standard Latin small letter 'e' (e) or the tilde-less 'ẹ̀'. In the context of typography, U+1EBD allows for accurate representation of these languages in digital media, improving readability and facilitating effective communication. As a Unicode character, it also contributes to standardizing text encoding across different platforms and applications, ensuring consistent presentation and reducing potential misinterpretations or errors in text-based data exchange.
