Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḥ has the Unicode code point U+1E25. 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+1E25 to binary:
00011110 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+1E25, also known as the Latin Small Letter H with Dot Below, is a typographical character used to represent a lowercase 'h' with a dot below its base in digital text. This character is primarily employed in typography and Unicode-compliant systems for specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts. It may be used in instances where a distinct visual differentiation from the standard lowercase 'h' is desired, such as in certain font designs, artistic text, or specialized transcription work. The Latin Small Letter H with Dot Below maintains a niche role within digital typography and serves as an example of the vast range of characters available within Unicode for tailored expression and design purposes.
