Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ḻ has the Unicode code point U+1E3B. 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+1E3B to binary:
00011110 00111011. 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 10111011

Description
The character U+1E3B, known as the "Latin Small Letter L with Line Below," is a specialized letter used in digital typography and text encoding. This unique Unicode character is typically employed for specific stylistic purposes or to denote certain linguistic features within a text. The line below the letter "l" differentiates it from other lowercase Latin letters, providing a distinct visual cue that may be important in certain contexts, such as transcription of specific dialects or languages where this distinction is significant. While its usage is relatively rare and specific, the U+1E3B character contributes to the rich diversity of typographical expressions available for digital communication and content creation.
