Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷓ has the Unicode code point U+1DD3. 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+1DD3 to binary:
00011101 11010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+1DD3 is the Unicode character code for "COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER FLATTENED OPEN A ABOVE". This typographical character is used in digital text to modify the appearance of certain letters, specifically by adding a unique shape or style to them. In this case, it flattens and slightly opens the top of the letter "a" when used in combination with other characters. Its primary usage lies in typography where it can be employed for design purposes to create unique visual effects or to enhance legibility. The character is part of the Unicode Standard which provides a consistent way of encoding, storing, and processing text in different languages, making it an essential tool for enabling global communication. U+1DD3 does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context associated with it, but it reflects the richness and diversity of written expression available through Unicode.
