Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ọ has the Unicode code point U+1ECD. 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+1ECD to binary:
00011110 11001101. 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 10111011 10001101

Description
U+1ECD, or Latin Small Letter O with Dot Below, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within Unicode standards. This character is part of the Latin script extension, which encompasses various additional alphabetic symbols beyond the standard 26 letters. The Latin Small Letter O with Dot Below (U+1ECD) displays a lowercase 'o' with a dot below it, mimicking the appearance of an accented character while still remaining within the traditional letter forms. In digital text, this character is primarily used for typographical purposes, such as in design or creative writing, to add visual interest and variety to the text. It does not serve any specific linguistic function, as it does not represent a unique sound or phoneme in any language. However, its usage can be seen within certain cultural contexts where artistic expression takes precedence over strict linguistic rules. The Latin Small Letter O with Dot Below (U+1ECD) is an essential character for typographers and designers who seek to enhance the aesthetic of their digital text creations. By incorporating this character, they can produce unique and visually appealing designs that adhere to Unicode standards while maintaining accuracy in representation.
