Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṻ has the Unicode code point U+1E7B. 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+1E7B to binary:
00011110 01111011
. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+1E7B, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON AND DIAERESIS, serves a significant role in digital text, particularly in linguistics and typography. This character combines three diacritical marks to form a unique letter that is primarily used in specific languages for distinct phonetic and orthographic purposes. While its usage might be less common compared to other base characters in the Latin alphabet, it holds cultural importance in certain regions. The macron indicates a long vowel sound, while the diaeresis signifies a special pronunciation rule. This combination of diacritics allows for precise representation and communication of language-specific nuances within digital text, contributing to the richness and diversity of human languages.
