Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḯ has the Unicode code point U+1E2F. 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+1E2F to binary:
00011110 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+1E2F, or the Latin Small Letter I with Diaeresis and Acute, is a specialized character in Unicode's typographical repertoire, serving a crucial role in digital text communication. It represents an 'i' sound that lasts for a longer duration than usual in certain languages, making it vital for accurate pronunciation and understanding of these languages. This character is primarily used in the Luxembourgish language, where it helps to differentiate words and convey meaning accurately. The diaeresis (two dots above the letter) signifies that the vowel sound is distinct from any adjacent vowels, while the acute accent (a single upward stroke) indicates a change in pronunciation or stress placement. In the realm of typography, U+1E2F ensures that digital texts reflect the correct phonetic nuances of Luxembourgish and other languages that utilize this character. By accurately representing these sounds, U+1E2F fosters better communication and understanding across linguistic borders.
