Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷴ has the Unicode code point U+1DF4. 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+1DF4 to binary:
00011101 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+1DF4, known as the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS, is a specialized glyph that plays a crucial role in digital text representation. This character is often used to provide an accentuated version of the lowercase letter 'u', forming the distinct and unique sound 'ü'. In linguistic contexts where the character is utilized, it signifies a specific phonetic shift within certain languages, such as German or Dutch, where the diaeresis (also referred to as an umlaut) marks a change in vowel sound. The use of U+1DF4 is primarily technical and serves to ensure accurate digital text rendering across various platforms and devices, adhering to Unicode standards for typographical consistency. In the realm of digital text, the COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS contributes to effective communication by providing a precise representation of specific linguistic nuances within text content.
