Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪼ has the Unicode code point U+1ABC. 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+1ABC to binary:
00011010 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+1ABC (COMBINING DOUBLE PARENTHESES ABOVE) is a Unicode character that serves as an advanced typography element used in digital text. Its primary role is to be placed above another character or text, creating the appearance of double parentheses surrounding it. This specific glyph finds its usage primarily in specialized applications such as programming languages, mathematics, and certain niche fields where visual representation of elements is vital. Though not widely utilized in general language use, it holds significance in specific technical and cultural contexts. For instance, within the Japanese Kanji text system, similar double parentheses symbols are used to denote a particular reading method or indicate a specific nuance. As a result, U+1ABC provides an essential tool for precise communication in specialized digital texts.
