Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19DD. 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+19DD to binary:
00011001 11011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+19DD (CHARACTER 19DD) is a symbol that plays a significant role in the field of digital typography. This character is primarily used to represent the "Upright Wave" in various digital text formats. In some cultural and linguistic contexts, this symbol has been employed to denote a specific waveform or to symbolize an upward or downward movement. However, it is important to note that U+19DD does not have any widely recognized meaning within a particular culture or language, as it is more of a typographical element used in design and layout work. As such, its usage is often dictated by the technical requirements of a specific project rather than cultural or linguistic norms. In digital text production, U+19DD is commonly employed in conjunction with other Unicode characters to create visually appealing designs that enhance readability and user experience. Despite not having a universally recognized meaning, this character adds versatility to the typographer's toolkit, enabling them to create more dynamic and engaging content across various digital platforms.
