Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷗ has the Unicode code point U+1DD7. 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+1DD7 to binary:
00011101 11010111
. 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 10010111

Description
U+1DD7 (COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C CEDILLA) is a typographical character used in digital text to modify the appearance of lowercase letters in various languages. Its primary role is to indicate a cedilla, which is a diacritical mark placed on the letter 'c' or 'C'. The cedilla is represented by the character 'Ç' (U+00E7) or the combination of the lowercase 'c' with the combining cedilla. This character is widely used in languages such as Portuguese, French, and Catalan, where it serves to differentiate between the pronunciation of the letter 'ç' and the combination of 's' followed by a comma or apostrophe. In digital text, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER C CEDILLA is applied as part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistency in character encoding across different languages and platforms.
