Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷐ has the Unicode code point U+1DD0. 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+1DD0 to binary:
00011101 11010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1DD0, known as COMBINING IS BELOW, is a typographic symbol that plays a crucial role in digital text composition. This character is utilized to indicate the position of certain elements within the text. Typically, it is used with diacritical marks or accents to denote their placement below the base letter or glyph. In linguistic and cultural contexts, COMBINING IS BELOW has been invaluable in ensuring accurate rendering of letters that require specific accents, such as those found in various European languages. From a technical standpoint, it serves as an essential component for preserving the integrity of text when converting between different character encodings or font formats. By using COMBINING IS BELOW, typographers and digital content creators can effectively communicate complex linguistic structures and nuances that might otherwise be lost in translation.
