Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṩ has the Unicode code point U+1E69. 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+1E69 to binary:
00011110 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+1E69, the Latin Small Letter S with Dot Below and Dot Above, is a typographical character that serves an important role in digital text, especially within the realm of special characters and custom typography. This unique letter combines two diacritical marks - the dot below (◊) and the dot above (ˊ) - to create a distinct variant of the lowercase letter 's.' In linguistic and cultural contexts, the U+1E69 character is primarily found in typographic art, design, and visual communication, where it adds visual interest and variety. It is also occasionally used in personalized text messages or digital correspondence to convey a playful, informal tone. However, its use in formal written language or for representing a specific linguistic sound is relatively uncommon, as no known language utilizes this combination of diacritics for phonetic purposes. From a technical standpoint, the character U+1E69 is encoded within the Unicode Standard, which allows for its accurate representation and display across various digital platforms and devices. This ensures that users and designers can consistently employ the Latin Small Letter S with Dot Below and Dot Above when creating content or engaging in communication that benefits from its unique visual appeal.
