Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ǜ has the Unicode code point U+01DB. 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+01DB to binary:
00000001 11011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+01DB, known as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND GRAVE, serves a significant role in digital text representation. This letter is primarily used to represent specific phonetic and orthographic characteristics within languages that employ the Latin script. In certain linguistic contexts, such as German, Dutch, or Swiss German dialects, this character symbolizes the sound "ü" (as in the English word "tune"). Its use can be observed in various textual formats, including digital documents, websites, and software applications. By incorporating U+01DB, content creators can ensure accurate phonetic representation and maintain linguistic integrity in their work. Overall, U+01DB contributes to the accuracy and clarity of textual communication across diverse languages and dialects that utilize the Latin script with specific phonetic requirements.
