Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǡ has the Unicode code point U+01E0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are 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+01E0 to binary:
00000001 11100000
. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+01E0 represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE AND MACRON." This character is primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes, often to provide emphasis or clarity in certain words or phrases. It combines two diacritical marks: a dot above the letter 'A' and a macron, which is a horizontal line that extends across the whole character. In linguistic contexts, this character can be found in various languages such as French, Polish, Portuguese, and others where it serves to modify pronunciation or stress. The U+01E0 character is part of the Latin Extended-A Unicode block, which includes additional letters and symbols necessary for representing a wide range of languages and regional variations within the Latin script family. Overall, this character is an important component of typography and language representation in digital text.
