Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷌ has the Unicode code point U+1DCC. 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+1DCC to binary:
00011101 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+1DCC, known as the COMBINING MACRON-BREVE, is a diacritical mark commonly used in digital text to modify the appearance of other characters. It typically combines with letters to create a unique symbol or accent that alters their sound or meaning in certain languages. The COMBINING MACRON-BREVE represents a combination of two diacritical marks: the macron and the breve. In linguistic context, it is mainly used in the Latin script, particularly in European languages such as French and Italian. However, its usage might be limited due to compatibility issues with certain fonts and software. The character plays an essential role in typography, where accurate representation of characters and their accents can significantly impact a document's readability and professionalism, especially for linguists, translators, or those working with foreign languages.
