Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷍ has the Unicode code point U+1DCD. 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+1DCD to binary:
00011101 11001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+1DCD, known as COMBINING DOUBLE CIRCUMFLEX ABOVE, is a diacritical mark used in digital text to modify the appearance of other characters. This typographical symbol is not commonly used and lacks specific cultural or linguistic significance, but it can be applied to any character that needs to be modified with a double circumflex accent. In Unicode, the COMBINING DOUBLE CIRCUMFLEX ABOVE follows the general rules of diacritical marks, attaching itself above the base character to alter its pronunciation or indicate a specific style. The usage of this symbol may be seen in specialized fields such as typography, linguistics, or computer science where unique text formatting is required.
