Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ỿ has the Unicode code point U+1EFF. 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+1EFF to binary:
00011110 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+1EFF, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH LOOP," is a unique typographical element primarily used in digital text for specific linguistic or cultural purposes. It serves to represent the lowercase letter "y" with a looped form, a variation that deviates from the standard lowercase "y." This character is essential in certain contexts where the traditional Latin alphabet may not adequately express specific phonetic nuances or visual cues inherent to certain languages or scripts. Although its usage might be limited, U+1EFF plays an important role in maintaining typographic accuracy and clarity for those who rely on it within their linguistic framework.
