Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḫ has the Unicode code point U+1E2B. 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+1E2B to binary:
00011110 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+1E2B, the Latin Small Letter H with Breve Below, is a Unicode character that serves a specific purpose within digital text. In typography, it represents a lowercase 'h' with a breve (a short horizontal line) beneath it and a dot below in certain scripts, such as the Old Turkic or Uyghur languages. This unique typographical element adds distinctiveness to words and helps prevent visual confusion between similar letters in these scripts. Although its usage is relatively niche, it plays an essential role in preserving linguistic identity and cultural heritage in communities where these languages are spoken. The character is indispensable for accurate transcription and representation of text in Old Turkic and Uyghur literatures, which are significant for historical, cultural, and academic research purposes.
