Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫌ has the Unicode code point U+1ACC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1ACC to binary:
00011010 11001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The character U+1ACC represents the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR G in Unicode. It is a typographic element commonly used in digital text for creating combinations of characters, particularly in the Insular script. The Insular script, originating from Ireland and Britain during the Early Medieval Period, is known for its intricate and decorative style. This character serves as a way to enhance and modify the appearance of regular Latin letters when combined with other Unicode characters. Although it may not have a significant presence in everyday language or culture, the U+1ACC COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR G plays an important role in digital typography for those seeking to emulate or explore historical scripts and artistic styles.
