Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷇ has the Unicode code point U+1DC7. 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+1DC7 to binary:
00011101 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC7, known as the COMBINING ACUTE-MACRON, serves a crucial role in typography, particularly in digital text processing. This character is often used to combine with other letters or symbols in various languages and scripts, allowing for more precise representation of sounds and linguistic nuances that may not be accommodated by standard letters. Its primary function is to lengthen the base character it combines with, typically indicating a long vowel sound, which can be crucial for accurate pronunciation and interpretation of text in many languages. The COMBINING ACUTE-MACRON has no cultural or linguistic significance on its own but contributes significantly to the accuracy and clarity of written communication in contexts where it is used.
