Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷋ has the Unicode code point U+1DCB. 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+1DCB to binary:
00011101 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+1DCB, known as the COMBINING BREVE-MACRON, is a diacritical mark used in digital text to modify the pronunciation or visual appearance of certain characters in specific languages. Its typical usage involves combining with vowels, particularly in the Finnish and Estonian languages, to produce a single sound that cannot be expressed by the vowel alone. The COMBINING BREVE-MACRON is made up of two parts: the breve, which shortens the duration of the vowel sound, and the macron, which lengthens it. This unique combination allows for greater precision in representing a diverse range of sounds within these languages. In terms of its digital representation and encoding, U+1DCB adheres to Unicode standards, ensuring compatibility across various platforms and devices for accurate display and functionality. Overall, the COMBINING BREVE-MACRON is an essential character in typography, particularly for linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity in Finnish and Estonian texts.
