Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṕ has the Unicode code point U+1E55. 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+1E55 to binary:
00011110 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+1E55, or the Latin Small Letter P with Acute, is a typographical character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designated for use in digital text. Its primary role lies in representing the sound /p/, similar to the lowercase English letter 'p', but with an added acute accent (ˇ) to distinguish it from other characters and signify its specific phonetic value within a linguistic context. This character is predominantly utilized in languages that employ diacritical marks, such as the extinct Old Prussian language or certain European regional dialects. By accurately incorporating U+1E55 into digital text, users can maintain linguistic integrity and convey cultural nuances essential to proper communication within specific communities.
