Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṱ has the Unicode code point U+1E71. 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+1E71 to binary:
00011110 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1E71, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CIRCUMFLEX BELOW," is a typographic representation that plays a significant role in digital text. It is utilized to depict the lowercase letter "t" with a circumflex accent placed below it, providing an alternative visual presentation for certain linguistic and cultural contexts. This character can be found within the Unicode Character Database, which catalogs and manages all the characters encoded in the Unicode Standard. While not a commonly used letter in many languages, its inclusion in the Unicode database underscores the importance of accommodating a diverse range of typographical elements for various global applications. The U+1E71 character is particularly relevant in specialized fields such as historical linguistics, where it may be employed to represent archaic or regional dialects that employ the unique circumflex accent below the letter "t."
