Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṍ has the Unicode code point U+1E4D. 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+1E4D to binary:
00011110 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+1E4D, the Latin Small Letter O with Tilde and Acute, is a specialized character in Unicode that serves a unique role in digital text representation. This typographical element belongs to the group of letters that are derived from the Spanish alphabet, reflecting its significance in the Spanish language as well as other Romance languages such as Catalan and Galician. In these linguistic contexts, U+1E4D is used to represent a single sound or phoneme that combines both the tilde (~) and acute accent (´) diacritics. The tilde indicates a palatalized pronunciation, while the acute accent signals a high tone on the syllable. Therefore, U+1E4D is crucial for accurate representation of the phonetic and phonological characteristics in digital text, ensuring clarity and precision in transcription. In addition to its linguistic function, U+1E4D has cultural significance as it represents an essential aspect of orthography that aids in maintaining language identity and facilitating communication within these communities. By employing this character and others like it, typographers and digital content creators contribute to preserving the rich heritage of the Romance languages.
