Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ṽ has the Unicode code point U+1E7D. 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+1E7D to binary:
00011110 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1E7D, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER V WITH TILDE," holds a significant role in digital text by representing a distinct letter within various alphabets. This character is commonly used in the Galician and Asturian languages, where it stands for the voiced bilabial fricative sound /β/. The tilde (~) over the letter "v" differentiates this character from the standard Latin small letter "v," emphasizing its linguistic uniqueness. In a broader context, U+1E7D contributes to the preservation and promotion of regional languages by providing accurate digital representation for their unique characters. By using U+1E7D, writers and translators can maintain cultural integrity and ensure proper communication in these specific linguistic communities.
