Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸞ has the Unicode code point U+2E1E. 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+2E1E to binary:
00101110 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2E1E, known as TILDE WITH DOT ABOVE, plays a significant role in digital typography, particularly in language systems that require unique diacritical marks for accurate expression. This special character is used to create an accent in which a tilde (~) symbol rests above a dot (.). Its primary use is to denote specific phonetic or linguistic characteristics in certain languages and dialects, such as Nahuatl, where it helps differentiate vowel sounds. The TILDE WITH DOT ABOVE does not have any direct cultural significance but serves as a vital tool for accurate language representation. In digital text and typography, this character is essential for proper communication and understanding across diverse linguistic communities that rely on such nuanced accents to distinguish meanings and convey information accurately.
