Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṯ has the Unicode code point U+1E6F. 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+1E6F to binary:
00011110 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The character U+1E6F, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH LINE BELOW," is a specialized letter in digital typography that serves both cultural and technical purposes. This Unicode character is part of the Latin script, which encompasses the majority of modern European languages. The line below the letter "t" adds emphasis or denotes an alternate form in certain linguistic contexts. For instance, in certain African languages such as Akan, it represents a distinct phoneme that doesn't exist in standard English or French. Consequently, its usage can be seen in digital texts to ensure accurate and culturally appropriate transcription of these languages. In terms of technical usage, the character helps differentiate between similar-looking letters like "t" and "f" when they are handwritten or part of certain font styles, thereby improving readability and reducing misinterpretation. Therefore, U+1E6F plays a crucial role in digital text by expanding typographic possibilities and promoting linguistic accuracy across various cultures.
