Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫀ has the Unicode code point U+1AC0. 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+1AC0 to binary:
00011010 11000000
. 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 10000000

Description
U+1AC0 COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED W BELOW is a special character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for use in digital text. This typographical element is employed to modify a preceding lowercase letter by adding a visually striking accent or diacritic. The primary role of this particular symbol is to turn the following alphabetical character into an upside-down 'W'. However, it's important to note that the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED W BELOW does not possess a unique Unicode code point; instead, it can be combined with other characters by utilizing the standard Unicode mechanism for combining diacritics. This allows for greater flexibility and adaptability within digital typography. Although this specific character doesn't have a significant cultural or linguistic context, it serves as an example of how Unicode's design enables the creation of diverse, expressive textual content across multiple languages and scripts.
