Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷟ has the Unicode code point U+1DDF. 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+1DDF to binary:
00011101 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+1DDF, also known as the COMBINING LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL M, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for typography and design purposes. This unique glyph serves as a combining character that can be combined with other letters to create customized alphabets or scripts. It is often utilized in the creation of logotypes, branding elements, and custom typefaces where the standard uppercase M may not fit the desired aesthetic or stylistic requirements. Although not widely used in daily language, the COMBINING LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL M plays a significant role in specialized fields such as graphic design, typography, and digital art. Its cultural, linguistic, and technical context is largely limited to these niche areas where creative expression and unique typographic features are sought after.
