Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḡ has the Unicode code point U+1E21. 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+1E21 to binary:
00011110 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+1E21 is a typographic character in the Unicode Standard representing "LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH MACRON." This specific letter is often utilized within digital text to denote the phonetic pronunciation of the letter 'g' as it appears in certain linguistic contexts. In particular, the macron above the lowercase 'g' signifies that the letter should be pronounced as a velar nasal, a sound similar to the English 'ng' sound in words like "sing" or "ring." The U+1E21 character finds its primary application within the context of phonetic transcriptions and linguistic analysis. By including this character in digital text, scholars, linguists, and language learners can accurately represent specific pronunciation details across various languages, facilitating clearer communication and fostering a deeper understanding of diverse linguistic structures.
