Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19CB. 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+19CB to binary:
00011001 11001011. 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 10100111 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+19CB is known as the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS" in typography. This specific letter was added to the Unicode Standard to represent an extended version of the Latin alphabet, which includes a variety of characters that are not commonly used in most languages but hold significance in some regional dialects and historical scripts. The U+19CB character is mainly employed in digital text for its cultural and linguistic value, particularly in certain Germanic and Romance languages where it serves as an alternate form of the letter 'y'. Although its usage might be less prevalent today due to technological advancements and standardization, this character remains crucial in maintaining historical accuracy, linguistic integrity, and the preservation of less-known dialects.
