Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẖ has the Unicode code point U+1E96. 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+1E96 to binary:
00011110 10010110. 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 10111010 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1E96, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER H WITH LINE BELOW", is a typographical symbol used in digital text. It serves to represent the lowercase letter 'h' with an underline or horizontal line beneath it. This unique symbol is often employed in various design and typography contexts where the traditional representation of the letter 'h' needs to be distinguished, emphasized, or visually separated from other characters. Although its usage might not be widespread in daily language, the Latin Small Letter H with Line Below has found a niche role in creative and design-driven text for added emphasis or visual interest. It is also occasionally used in technical documentation or coding where clarity of meaning and distinction are paramount. The character U+1E96 does not have any direct association with specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts; however, it demonstrates the vast range of possibilities offered by Unicode to create visually distinct and expressive digital text.
