Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷾ has the Unicode code point U+1DFE. 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+1DFE to binary:
00011101 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+1DFE, also known as the COMBINING LEFT ARROWHEAD ABOVE character, is a typographical element in Unicode that primarily serves to modify other characters visually by adding an arrowhead above them. In digital text, it is used for decorative purposes or in specific applications where an arrowhead above a character adds clarity, such as in mathematical or scientific notation, heraldry, or typography. Despite its relatively niche usage, this character can be essential in certain contexts to convey precise meaning and visual appeal. The COMBINING LEFT ARROWHEAD ABOVE is not associated with any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context and is a versatile tool for designers, typographers, and creators of digital content who wish to add a unique flair to their work.
