Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḩ has the Unicode code point U+1E29. 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+1E29 to binary:
00011110 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+1E29, also known as Latin Small Letter H with Cedilla, is a unique typographical character used primarily in digital text to represent the letter 'h' in certain language systems where the cedilla diacritic (ˇ) is utilized. This character finds its primary usage within the Portuguese and Brazilian dialects of the Romance languages, where it represents the sound "h" with a distinct cedilla accent. Its role is crucial for accurate and effective communication, particularly in these linguistic contexts, as it helps to differentiate between similar sounds and words that may otherwise be confused. The Latin Small Letter H with Cedilla symbol contributes significantly to the richness of these languages' orthographies by providing essential clarity on pronunciation and meaning.
