Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᫄ has the Unicode code point U+1AC4. 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+1AC4 to binary:
00011010 11000100
. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+1AC4 is known as the COMBINING RIGHT PARENTHESIS BELOW RIGHT. It serves a specific role in digital text by allowing for the placement of an open right parenthesis below a preceding character. This typographical feature is used predominantly in various typesetting and design applications, where it provides a subtle visual cue to readers or helps maintain consistency in formatting. The COMBINING RIGHT PARENTHESIS BELOW RIGHT is often employed in specialized fields such as linguistics, where it may be used for phonetic transcription or in technical documentation for precise notation. However, its usage remains relatively limited due to the niche nature of its applications and the potential for confusion with more widely recognized characters.
