Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷆ has the Unicode code point U+1DC6. 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+1DC6 to binary:
00011101 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC6, known as the COMBINING MACRON-GRAVE, serves a specific purpose in digital typography. Typically employed to modify other characters, it combines a macron (a diacritical mark used to indicate a long vowel) and a grave accent (indicating a nasalized sound), forming a unique character combination. This makes the COMBING MACRON-GRAVE indispensable in transcription systems that require both diacritics, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet or certain linguistic studies. Although it doesn't play an extensive role in everyday digital text usage, the COMBINING MACRON-GRAVE is a critical tool for specialists who need precise phonetic transcription or linguistic analysis.
