Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḹ has the Unicode code point U+1E39. 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+1E39 to binary:
00011110 00111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+1E39, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON," is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This typographic symbol is used to represent the French language, specifically the letters "l" with both a dot below and a macron above it. The dot below serves as an accent to help differentiate it from other letters, such as "i," while the macron denotes a long vowel sound. In digital text, this character ensures accurate transcription and preservation of pronunciation in French or similar languages that use these diacritical marks. It is essential for proper communication and understanding across linguistic boundaries.
