Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸚ has the Unicode code point U+2E1A. 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+2E1A to binary:
00101110 00011010. 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:
11100010 10111000 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+2E1A, known as the HYPHEN WITH DIAERESIS, is a specialized typographic symbol used in digital text. This unique character combines both a hyphen (-) and a diaeresis (¨) into one glyph, creating a combined mark that serves a specific purpose in certain linguistic contexts. Typically, this character is utilized in Germanic languages to denote the pronunciation of umlauts, which are indicated by the diaeresis diacritical mark. In these languages, it can also be employed to represent a long or short vowel sound, depending on the position of the hyphen within the word. The HYPHEN WITH DIAERESIS is an essential tool for accurate and nuanced representation of certain linguistic features, ensuring that digital texts maintain the intended phonetic and semantic qualities found in their printed counterparts.
