Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṙ has the Unicode code point U+1E59. 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+1E59 to binary:
00011110 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
The character U+1E59, or LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT ABOVE, is a specialized letter within the Unicode Standard, which encompasses all characters and symbols used in digital text. In typography, this particular symbol is often employed to differentiate itself from other similar Latin script letters, such as 'R'. Its unique appearance, with a dot above the lowercase 'r', helps enhance readability and clarity within specific contexts. U+1E59 holds cultural, linguistic, and technical significance in certain regions where it serves a particular function or meaning. It is predominantly utilized in the Romanian language to represent the sound /ɨ/, which is a palatal approximant. The use of this letter in Romanian highlights its importance in phonetic transcription and orthography. In terms of technical context, the LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT ABOVE is also essential for digital text processing systems, as it enables accurate encoding and decoding of characters. Its presence within the Unicode Standard ensures interoperability across different software applications, platforms, and devices, thus facilitating seamless communication and exchange of information in various languages and scripts.
