Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṝ has the Unicode code point U+1E5D. 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+1E5D to binary:
00011110 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+1E5D is a typographic character within the Unicode standard, representing the Latin small letter R with a dot below and a macron (LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH DOT BELOW AND MACRON). This unique character combines three distinct diacritical marks - a dot below and a macron on top of the base letter 'r'. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent a specific phonetic or orthographic variant of the letter 'r' in certain languages, particularly in transcriptions or translations involving tonal languages. Although it may not have widespread use across different languages, the character can be significant in particular cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. In these specialized scenarios, the dot below the letter helps to distinguish between similar sounds, while the macron indicates a specific pronunciation or length of the sound. The accurate application of U+1E5D contributes to clearer communication and understanding within these specific linguistic domains, highlighting the importance of Unicode's extensive character set in supporting global language diversity.
