Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷩ has the Unicode code point U+1DE9. 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+1DE9 to binary:
00011101 11101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1DE9 represents the "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER BETA" in digital text. This unique character is often used in typography to display a lowercase beta letter, which is commonly found in the Greek alphabet. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the combing latin small letter beta is frequently employed to convey specialized terms or designations in various academic fields such as computer science, mathematics, and biology. However, its usage is relatively limited compared to other common Unicode characters. One notable application of this character is in the construction of compound words where a regular Latin letter needs to be combined with other characters to achieve a desired effect. This character can also be utilized for artistic or creative purposes, such as in logo design or typography projects, which require unique and distinctive character combinations. Overall, U+1DE9 serves as a versatile tool for digital text manipulation while maintaining its historical roots within the Greek alphabet.
