Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷫ has the Unicode code point U+1DEB. 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+1DEB to binary:
00011101 11101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+1DEB, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER F, is a character within the Unicode Standard that serves as a typographic element to combine with other letters in digital text. It is not meant for independent use but instead functions as an accent or modification of adjacent characters. This unique Unicode code point allows for the creation of complex characters and diacritics in various languages, enabling richer expression and communication through written form. Although U+1DEB does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context on its own, it plays an important role in the realm of typography by contributing to the diversity and flexibility of text rendering across different languages and scripts.
