Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷲ has the Unicode code point U+1DF2. 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+1DF2 to binary:
00011101 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1DF2 is a typographic character known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS. This character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling users to create accented variations of the lowercase 'a' in various languages and scripts that use the Latin alphabet. The diaeresis, represented by two dots (¨), modifies the sound or pronunciation of the letter it accompanies. The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS is widely used in languages such as German, Swedish, and Norwegian. In these languages, it is utilized to represent the 'ä' sound. It is essential to note that this character must be combined with another letter or a base character to function correctly in digital text. When employed in the appropriate linguistic contexts, U+1DF2 contributes to accurate and expressive communication, ensuring the correct pronunciation and meaning are conveyed across different languages and cultures.
