Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷁ has the Unicode code point U+1DC1. 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+1DC1 to binary:
00011101 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC1, known as the COMBINING DOTTED ACUTE ACCENT, plays a crucial role in typography by enabling the creation of accented characters in digital text. Its main function is to combine with other letters or symbols to create a specific accentuated form. For example, when combined with the letter "N" (U+004E), it creates the character "Ñ" (U+00D1). This character is widely used in languages like Spanish and Catalan, where it represents a distinct phoneme and is essential for accurate spelling and pronunciation. The COMBINING DOTTED ACUTE ACCENT is a vital part of many writing systems, ensuring correct text rendering across different platforms and devices, thus enhancing readability and comprehension. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard demonstrates the extensive effort to accommodate diverse scripts and languages in digital communication.
