Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷙ has the Unicode code point U+1DD9. 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+1DD9 to binary:
00011101 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+1DD9 is the Unicode code point for the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH character. This typographic symbol is used in digital text to represent a small version of the letter 'Eth', which is derived from the runic alphabet. It is commonly employed in the Icelandic language and other Nordic scripts as a vital element for accurate representation of words in these languages. Eth is an essential character for typographers, linguists, and digital text specialists who work with non-Latin scripts, as it plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of texts written in such languages. The use of COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH reflects the ongoing evolution of Unicode to accommodate and support the diversity of world languages and writing systems.
