Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫃ has the Unicode code point U+1AC3. 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+1AC3 to binary:
00011010 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1AC3, known as the COMBINING LEFT PARENTHESIS BELOW LEFT, is a typographical element used in digital text. This character is part of the "Combining Diacritical Marks" category within the Unicode Standard. Its primary purpose is to be combined with other characters, such as letters or numbers, to create a visual effect that appears as if the character below it has been enclosed in a left parenthesis. This can be used for various aesthetic or stylistic purposes in digital text. Despite its name, the COMBINING LEFT PARENTHESIS BELOW LEFT does not function like a standard parenthesis in mathematics or programming. Instead, it is a diacritical mark that serves as a decorative element for certain text presentation styles. It can be combined with letters from various alphabets and scripts, making its usage quite versatile across different languages and cultures. The COMBINING LEFT PARENTHESIS BELOW LEFT is not commonly used in everyday writing, but it may appear in specialized contexts such as typography, graphic design, or digital art. Its precise application depends on the specific requirements of the designer or user, and its usage remains relatively niche due to the limited number of applications where this particular visual effect is deemed necessary or desirable.
