Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫊ has the Unicode code point U+1ACA. 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+1ACA to binary:
00011010 11001010. 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 10101011 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+1ACA, known as the COMBINING DOUBLE PLUS SIGN BELOW, is an essential symbol in digital typography. This glyph serves a unique role in allowing for more precise representation of mathematical and scientific concepts in text form. Its primary use is to combine with other characters or symbols, such as the standard plus sign (+), to create a double-sized version that appears below the base character. This provides greater clarity and visual distinction when used in equations or data representations where size or emphasis is critical for readability and understanding. The COMBINING DOUBLE PLUS SIGN BELOW does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role as a typographical tool, making it an important but subtle component of digital text formatting.
