Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19DC. 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+19DC to binary:
00011001 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+19DC is a letter from the Old Italic script, which was used in ancient Italy for Latin language texts. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent the Old Italic capital letter "G" or "Q". This script dates back to around the 6th century BC and provides valuable insight into the early history of the Italian Peninsula. The character U+19DC holds importance in the fields of ancient history, linguistics, and typography due to its unique representation in the Old Italic alphabet. Although not widely used today, it remains a crucial part of our understanding of the cultural and linguistic development of the region.
