Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẛ has the Unicode code point U+1E9B. 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+1E9B to binary:
00011110 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+1E9B, the Latin Small Letter Long S with Dot Above, is a typographic character found within the Unicode Standard, specifically in the Latin Extended Additional block. In digital text, this character serves as a distinct letter variant in certain alphabets or script styles, often used to differentiate it from other similar letters such as 'L' and 'I'. While primarily utilized in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription systems for phonetics and phonology, it may also be employed in typographical contexts where a unique visual representation is desired. Though not widely used in everyday language, the Latin Small Letter Long S with Dot Above plays a significant role in specific linguistic and cultural applications, particularly within academic, scientific, and technical communities.
