Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ỡ has the Unicode code point U+1EE1. 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+1EE1 to binary:
00011110 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+1EE1, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH HORN AND TILDE," is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard used for typography and digital text representation. This unique letter is part of the Latin script, which is predominantly used for various European languages. Its typical usage serves to differentiate it from other characters within the Latin alphabet by incorporating both the horn and tilde diacritical marks. The horn (ˀ) is a diacritical mark that originated in Gaelic scripts, adding a distinctive touch to certain letters, while the tilde (~) is commonly used in Spanish and other Romance languages to indicate nasalization of vowels. In digital text, U+1EE1 can be utilized for various purposes, such as transcription of foreign words or names, creating unique typographic designs, or emphasizing specific phonetic characteristics. Although not widely used in everyday language, U+1EE1 holds a cultural and linguistic significance due to its origins and applications in Gaelic and other Latin-based scripts. Its presence in the Unicode Standard reflects the ever-expanding scope of digital text representation and the importance of preserving the diversity of written languages.
