Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷈ has the Unicode code point U+1DC8. 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+1DC8 to binary:
00011101 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC8 is known as the COMBINING GRAVE-ACUTE-GRAVE. In digital text, this symbol is often employed to alter the tone of a specific letter or character by combining it with grave (´) and acute (ˇ) accents. The use of these combined accents can be observed in various typographical contexts across languages that employ diacritical marks, such as Czech or Hungarian. Notably, this character may also appear in specialized contexts like mathematics, linguistics, or music notation where unique tonal representations are needed. Its application is primarily dependent on the specific requirements of the language, text or document being used, allowing for a greater level of customization and precision in typography.
