Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪸ has the Unicode code point U+1AB8. 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+1AB8 to binary:
00011010 10111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+1AB8 is the Unicode character code for the COMBINING DOUBLE OPEN MARK BELOW. This typographical element is used in digital text to serve a specific role - it combines with other characters to visually alter their appearance. Typically, the COMBINING DOUBLE OPEN MARK BELOW is employed to create a diacritical mark that adds an open double circle below the character it modifies. This can affect the pronunciation or emphasize a specific aspect of the modified character in various languages and scripts. As a Unicode character, U+1AB8 contributes to the diversity and richness of typographical expression in digital communication, while also facilitating accurate representation and interpretation across different platforms and devices.
