Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ữ has the Unicode code point U+1EEF. 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+1EEF to binary:
00011110 11101111
. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+1EEF, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH HORN AND TILDE", plays a significant role in digital text as it represents a unique combination of diacritical marks applied to the lowercase letter 'u'. This character is part of the Latin script and is used primarily in the orthography of certain languages, such as Galician and Asturian. Its usage serves to represent distinct phonetic features or accentuation in these linguistic contexts, thereby playing a critical role in preserving cultural identity and linguistic heritage. The character demonstrates the flexibility and diversity of the Latin script, which can accommodate various modifications through Unicode to cater to the needs of different languages and dialects. In digital text, U+1EEF ensures accuracy and clarity of communication by visually signaling its specific phonetic or accentual function, contributing to the precise representation of language in the digital realm.
