Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⸛ has the Unicode code point U+2E1B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+2E1B to binary:
00101110 00011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+2E1B, known as the TILDE WITH RING ABOVE, is a diacritical mark primarily used in digital text to modify other characters, typically letters from the Latin alphabet. In typography and linguistic contexts, it is often employed to denote specific phonetic or orthographic features within certain languages or dialects. The TILDE WITH RING ABOVE is relatively less common when compared to other diacritical marks like the acute accent (U+00B4) or the circumflex (U+00BA). However, it still holds significance in particular regional usages and linguistic traditions. While its usage may not be as widespread as other diacriticals, the TILDE WITH RING ABOVE plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of specific linguistic expressions and dialects where it is employed.
