Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷉ has the Unicode code point U+1DC9. 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+1DC9 to binary:
00011101 11001001. 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 10110111 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC9, known as COMBINING ACUTE-GRAVE-ACUTE, is a typographic symbol primarily used in digital text for modifying characters with accents or diacritics. This unique character combines two distinct accent marks - the grave (¨) and acute (´) - to create a single glyph. In linguistic terms, this combination of accents is primarily found in languages such as Vietnamese where it can be used to modify specific characters, though its usage is relatively rare due to the complexity of combining multiple diacritics. The COMBINING ACUTE-GRAVE-ACUTE is often employed in digital typography and linguistic studies for a more accurate representation of certain characters within specific languages or for creating custom glyphs for specialized purposes. Its primary role lies in the accurate depiction of unique character combinations that may not be directly represented by a single Unicode character, highlighting the versatility and richness of digital text encoding in modern typography.
