Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪱ has the Unicode code point U+1AB1. 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+1AB1 to binary:
00011010 10110001. 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 10101010 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1AB1, COMBINING DIAERESIS-RING, is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in digital text to represent the diacritical mark known as diaeresis or umlaut (¨). It is often employed in various languages to modify the pronunciation of certain vowels, such as in German, Swiss German, and Dutch. The diaeresis indicates a change in vowel sound, where an "i" or "u" with this mark is pronounced as a separate vowel rather than being part of a diphthong. In a technical context, the COMBINING DIAERESIS-RING can be used alongside other combining characters to create composite marks that may not have direct Unicode representations. As an essential element in accurate and culturally appropriate transcription, the U+1AB1 character plays a vital role in digital typography for languages that utilize diaeresis or umlauts.
