Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẜ has the Unicode code point U+1E9C. 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+1E9C to binary:
00011110 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1E9C, known as the "LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S WITH DIAGONAL STROKE," is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for specific linguistic or technical purposes. It is a variant of the letter 's' that features a diagonal stroke originating from its top bar and extending towards the bottom right corner. This unique characteristic sets it apart from the standard lowercase 's.' Although the usage of U+1E9C in written language is relatively uncommon, it can be found in certain specialized contexts such as coding or programming to indicate specific actions or commands. Its existence in Unicode allows for greater diversity and flexibility in digital communication, enabling users to express their ideas and information using a wider range of characters and symbols.
