Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ẃ has the Unicode code point U+1E83. 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+1E83 to binary:
00011110 10000011. 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 10111010 10000011

Description
U+1E83, also known as Latin Small Letter W with Acute, plays a significant role in digital typography by extending the capabilities of the Latin script to include accented letters that are essential for various languages. This character is commonly used in digital text to represent the "w" sound with an acute accent, which distinguishes it from other characters and helps maintain clarity and accuracy in written communication across different cultures and linguistic contexts. Its usage is particularly important in the Ibero-American region, where it serves as a diacritical mark for certain words in Spanish and Portuguese. By incorporating U+1E83 into their digital typography, designers and developers can ensure proper representation of language nuances and contribute to more accurate and inclusive communication across diverse audiences.
