Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷵ has the Unicode code point U+1DF5. 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+1DF5 to binary:
00011101 11110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1DF5 represents the "COMBINING UP TACK ABOVE" symbol. This typographical element is utilized in digital text to modify uppercase letters by adding an upward pointing arrow or hook-like symbol above the letter. Its primary function is to enhance visual clarity and provide additional emphasis, particularly when used with initials or abbreviations in formal documents or titles. Although it may be considered as a stylistic embellishment, the COMBINING UP TACK ABOVE has some usage in specialized fields such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering, where it helps to distinguish between similar-looking characters or symbols, thus reducing ambiguity.
