Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ỷ has the Unicode code point U+1EF7. 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+1EF7 to binary:
00011110 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+1EF7, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE, is a unique typographical element in digital text. It is primarily used to represent the letter "y" with an additional curved hook-like feature above it, differentiating it from a standard lowercase 'y'. This character can be found in various languages and scripts that incorporate this specific letter form for phonetic or stylistic purposes. Notably, U+1EF7 is often utilized in digital typography to signify the letter "y" within certain linguistic contexts, such as in the Kurdish language, where it represents a distinct phoneme. The character also has applications in digital text for emphasizing or embellishing written content due to its visually distinctive appearance. In terms of technical context, U+1EF7 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, and glyph used in written languages worldwide. This standardization ensures accurate representation, display, and manipulation of text across different digital platforms and devices, promoting global communication and understanding.
