Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḷ has the Unicode code point U+1E37. 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+1E37 to binary:
00011110 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+1E37, or Latin Small Letter L with Dot Below, is a typographical character commonly used in digital text to denote a lowercase 'L' with a dot below it. This character can be found in the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique number for every character, symbol, or emoji. The primary usage of U+1E37 is in various typographic contexts where an accentuated or decorated letter is required, although its use is relatively rare due to the lack of widespread application within the English language. In some linguistic contexts, U+1E37 may serve as a phonetic indicator for certain dialects or regional pronunciations where the presence of the dot below the 'L' signifies a distinct sound. It can also be used in programming languages to create mnemonic identifiers, or within textual art where the character's appearance contributes to the overall aesthetic. The Latin Small Letter L with Dot Below is an example of how Unicode facilitates the representation and interaction between different writing systems, allowing for greater accessibility and inclusivity in digital communication. However, it is essential to consider cultural and linguistic nuances when using U+1E37, as its usage may not always be universally understood or interpreted correctly.
