Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṥ has the Unicode code point U+1E65. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1E65 to binary:
00011110 01100101
. 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 10100101

Description
U+1E65 is a unique Unicode character that combines two diacritical marks, the acute accent and the dot above, with the Latin small letter 's'. This typographic creation primarily serves in digital text for various specialized applications, such as creating distinct phonetic symbols or representing specific linguistic features in minority languages. Although it does not have a widely recognized cultural or linguistic context, its presence in the Unicode character set allows for greater flexibility and customization in written communication across diverse communities. By combining both an acute accent and a dot above the letter 's', U+1E65 offers a distinctive visual element that can be leveraged for specific purposes, such as creating unique branding elements or signifying particular phonetic characteristics in transcription tasks.
