Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷡ has the Unicode code point U+1DE1. 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+1DE1 to binary:
00011101 11100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1DE1 represents the COMBINING LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL N. It is a diacritical mark that can be used in combination with other characters, particularly Latin letters, to modify their appearance or function. This unique symbol allows for greater typographic variety and expressiveness in digital text. While U+1DE1 does not have a specific cultural or linguistic context of its own, it contributes to the richness and diversity of written language by enabling authors and designers to create customized letterforms that suit their creative vision. As a part of the Unicode Standard, COMBINING LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL N ensures global compatibility and interoperability in text processing systems.
