Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0AD6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0AD6 to binary:
00001010 11010110
. 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:
11100000 10101011 10010110

Description
U+0AD6 is a unique and specialized character within the Unicode system. Specifically, it represents the letter "ᵚ" in the Latin Extended-C (LEC) block of characters. This block is used to represent various phonetic and alphabetic scripts from around the world. The U+0AD6 character, "ᵚ", is often employed in linguistic studies and transcription systems where a specific phoneme or sound requires representation beyond the standard Latin script. In digital text, its usage can be found primarily within specialized fields such as linguistics, phonetics, and typography. While this character may not have widespread recognition among the general public, it plays an important role in accurately conveying certain sounds and language nuances within specific cultural or linguistic contexts. Overall, U+0AD6, or "ᵚ", is a valuable addition to Unicode's extensive repertoire of characters, allowing for greater precision and detail in digital text representations across various languages and phonetic systems.
