Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṑ has the Unicode code point U+1E51. 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+1E51 to binary:
00011110 01010001. 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 10111001 10010001

Description
U+1E51 is a specialized Unicode character that represents the Latin small letter O with both macron and grave accents (Ō). This character is used in digital text to represent an accented vowel sound, typically found in certain dialects of French and other Romance languages. The combination of a macron and grave accent indicates a long, open-mid back rounded vowel sound, which differs from the standard O or Õ (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH MACRON) and Ō (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE AND MACRON). In digital typography, U+1E51 ensures accurate representation of this specific accented vowel sound in various text encodings. While it may not be commonly used, the character serves an essential role for linguists and those working with lesser-known dialects or historical languages where such distinct phonetic nuances are crucial.
