Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷕ has the Unicode code point U+1DD5. 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+1DD5 to binary:
00011101 11010101
. 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 10010101

Description
U+1DD5, commonly known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER AO, is a typographical character used in digital text. Its primary role is to combine with other characters, especially uppercase Latin letters like "A", to create accented versions of those characters, such as "Á". The COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER AO contributes to the linguistic diversity of text by enabling the representation of various languages that utilize accent marks for their written forms. This Unicode character is essential in technical contexts where accurate and precise communication of accented letters is crucial, such as in programming, documentation, and web development. As a foundational element in typography and digital text representation, U+1DD5 plays an important role in facilitating cross-cultural understanding and communication online.
