Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19CD. 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+19CD to binary:
00011001 11001101. 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 10100111 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+19CD (character 19CD) is a rare and specialized symbol used primarily within the Lithuanian language. Specifically, it represents an archaic ligature of two letters, "i" and "a", which were combined in certain scribal traditions for historical or aesthetic reasons. In modern digital text, this character has limited usage, primarily within linguistic studies, typography, or as a decorative element. Its significance lies in its cultural and historical context, as it serves as a link to older forms of the Lithuanian script, providing insights into the evolving nature of written language over time. As such, U+19CD may be appreciated for its aesthetic value by enthusiasts of typography or those with an interest in historical linguistics, but its use in everyday digital communication is rare.
