Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪽ has the Unicode code point U+1ABD. 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+1ABD to binary:
00011010 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1ABD, known as the COMBINING PARENTHESES BELOW, is a typographical element commonly utilized in digital text to place opening and closing parentheses below or above the base line of other characters. It is part of the Unicode 3.0 standard, released in 2000, which introduced several combining characters for diacritics and accent marks to support a wider range of scripts and languages. This character does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, but it serves as a useful tool for typographers, designers, and authors who wish to create more intricate and nuanced text layouts that adhere to particular visual or stylistic preferences. By combining with base characters, U+1ABD helps achieve a sense of harmony and consistency in the text, contributing to overall readability and aesthetic appeal.
