Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1779. 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+1779 to binary:
00010111 01111001. 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 10011101 10111001

Description
U+1779 is a Unicode character code that represents the "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE" (CHARACTER 1779). This letter is commonly used in digital text for various purposes, such as representing specific phonetic sounds or accent marks in certain languages. In some linguistic contexts, it signifies a distinct sound not present in the standard English alphabet. However, its primary role remains as an accent mark to modify the pronunciation of the preceding vowel or consonant, often in languages such as Spanish and Portuguese. While U+1779 does not have any specific cultural significance, it plays a technical role in typography by enabling accurate representation of phonetic nuances within text. Accurate usage of this character enhances the clarity and effectiveness of communication across different languages that employ accent marks to convey meaning or sound distinctions.
