Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḧ has the Unicode code point U+1E27. 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+1E27 to binary:
00011110 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+1E27, or the Latin Small Letter H with Diaeresis, is a character used primarily in typography to denote a specific pronunciation of the letter "H" in certain languages such as German and Swiss-German. In these languages, the diaeresis (also known as an umlaut) over the letter "H" indicates that it is pronounced like the English "ü," specifically as [hi] or [hy]. This can be particularly important for maintaining accurate pronunciation in digital text and transcriptions of Germanic languages. As a Unicode character, U+1E27 plays an essential role in ensuring correct phonetic representation and readability across various platforms and devices.
