Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẝ has the Unicode code point U+1E9D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1E9D to binary:
00011110 10011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+1E9D represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S WITH HIGH STROKE." This typographic symbol is used in digital text to represent a modified form of the lowercase letter 's' that features an extended stroke at its top. Its primary usage is within typography and design, where it can be employed for stylistic purposes or as part of a specific visual language. The character was introduced in Unicode version 3.1 in 1998, under the Latin Extended-C block. While U+1E9D may not have widespread usage across different languages and scripts, its presence in the Unicode standard reflects the diversity of typographic expression and the importance of supporting a wide range of visual styles for designers and writers.
