Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ứ has the Unicode code point U+1EE9. 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+1EE9 to binary:
00011110 11101001
. 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 10111011 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1EE9, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH HORN AND ACUTE", is a special letter used in typography to represent a specific sound or phoneme in certain languages. It combines the features of the 'u' base character with an acute accent and a horn-like diacritic, providing a unique visual representation for this distinct sound. This character is particularly useful in digital text where accurate representation of linguistic nuances is critical for maintaining meaning and readability across different languages and dialects. While it may not be widely used, it holds significance in certain cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, where specific phoneme representations are necessary. The use of this character demonstrates an understanding of language structure and a commitment to accurate digital communication, making it an important tool for those working in typography, linguistics, and digital text processing.
