Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ǟ has the Unicode code point U+01DF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 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+01DF to binary:
00000001 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The character U+01DF, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly in typography and linguistics. This unique Unicode character is utilized to represent the 'ă' letter in various languages. It is formed by combining the diaeresis (or umlaut) and macron diacritical marks with the base Latin small letter 'a'. The combination of these two diacritics transforms the basic 'a' into a distinct, phonetic symbol that differentiates it from other similar letters in those languages. U+01DF is crucial for preserving the accuracy and clarity of written communication in languages such as Romanian, Turkish, and several African languages like Fula and Sango. It is widely used in digital text, including word processing applications and web content, to ensure precise representation and understanding of these linguistic systems. Overall, the LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS AND MACRON (U+01DF) plays a vital role in digital typography by enabling accurate transcription of specific phonetic sounds in various languages across the globe.
