Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ỳ has the Unicode code point U+1EF3. 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+1EF3 to binary:
00011110 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+1EF3 represents the Latin small letter y with grave (ỳ). This typographical character is primarily used within digital texts to indicate a lowercase 'y' that has been accented by a grave mark, which modifies its pronunciation and function in various languages. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the character U+1EF3 is most commonly observed in Romance languages such as French, where it denotes a distinct sound from the unaccented 'y'. This accentuation serves as an important aspect of phonetic and orthographic conventions that dictate word pronunciation and meaning. Technically, U+1EF3 falls under the range of Unicode's Latin Extended-A block, which is a subset of the more extensive Latin alphabet used in digital text to encompass numerous language nuances worldwide.
