Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷧ has the Unicode code point U+1DE7. 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+1DE7 to binary:
00011101 11100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+1DE7 is the Unicode code point for the "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA" character. This character is primarily used in digital text to combine with other characters, usually to create unique or specialized letters in various scripts and typography designs. The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA does not have any inherent meaning on its own but serves as a base for other characters. It is often combined with the "COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT" (U+0302) to form the ă (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX) in the Latin script, which is used in several languages such as Romanian and Vietnamese. Its role in typography lies in the creation of unique and visually appealing characters, especially in custom or artistic text designs where standard alphabets may be insufficient. Overall, U+1DE7 plays a subtle yet essential part in digital text by providing a foundational element for the formation of various specialized letters across different languages and scripts.
