Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ổ has the Unicode code point U+1ED5. 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+1ED5 to binary:
00011110 11010101
. 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:

Description
U+1ED5, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH CIRCUMFLEX AND HOOK ABOVE", is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in linguistic and technical contexts where it represents an accentuated form of the lowercase letter "o". The circumflex and hook above the letter "o" signify a nasalized vowel sound, which is crucial for accurate pronunciation and comprehension in certain languages. This character contributes to the precision and expressiveness of digital text, facilitating clear communication across different cultures and languages that utilize this particular accent mark. U+1ED5 is particularly useful in Romanian and other European languages where nasalized vowels are distinct features of the phonetic system. By using U+1ED5, writers and typographers can ensure accurate representation of these nuanced sounds, enhancing the overall clarity and effectiveness of digital text.
