Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǘ has the Unicode code point U+01D7. 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+01D7 to binary:
00000001 11010111
. 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:
11000111 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+01D7 represents the Latin capital letter "U" with a diaeresis (also known as an umlaut) and acute accent. This character is commonly used in digital text to represent specific phonetic or orthographic features in various languages, such as German, Swedish, Finnish, and other Scandinavian languages. In these languages, the U+01D7 character serves to modify the pronunciation of the letter "U" by emphasizing a specific sound or vowel quality. The diaeresis denotes a schwa sound, while the acute accent indicates a short, open-mid unrounded vowel sound. This character is essential in digital typography for accurately representing these sounds and maintaining the integrity of the original text's linguistic and cultural context.
