Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṣ has the Unicode code point U+1E63. 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+1E63 to binary:
00011110 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1E63, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH DOT BELOW, serves a specific role in digital text as an alphabetical character from the Latin script. This particular character is used to represent the lowercase letter 's' with a dot below it, which can be found in many languages that utilize the Latin script. U+1E63 is primarily used for typographical purposes, such as in certain font styles or artistic representations of text, where the inclusion of diacritical marks like the dot below the letter add visual emphasis or distinction. In some cases, this character can also be utilized to depict a character from a non-Latin language that has been adapted to the Latin script. Overall, U+1E63 contributes to the diversity and expressiveness of digital text by offering variations in letterforms and diacritics.
