Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṿ has the Unicode code point U+1E7F. 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+1E7F to binary:
00011110 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+1E7F, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH DOT BELOW," is a typographic representation primarily used in digital text for its distinctive appearance. This character combines the lowercase letter 'v' with a small, positioned dot below the letter, creating an aesthetically unique symbol that can serve various purposes depending on the context. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character may be used to represent a specific phonetic sound or accent in certain languages, although its usage remains relatively rare. From a technical standpoint, U+1E7F is part of the Unicode standard (version 5.1 and later), which facilitates accurate rendering and representation of text across various platforms and devices. This character's specific application depends on the particular needs of the text or document it appears in, but its primary role is to provide a visually distinct representation of the lowercase letter 'v' when such a distinction is desired in digital text.
