Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᷀ has the Unicode code point U+1DC0. 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+1DC0 to binary:
00011101 11000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1DC0, known as the COMBINING DOTTED GRAVE ACCENT, is a specialized diacritical mark commonly used in digital text for various typographical purposes. It serves to modify characters by giving them a dotted version of the grave accent (‘), which looks like an inverted V-shaped symbol above the character it modifies. This unique character is frequently employed in linguistic and cultural contexts, particularly in languages that make use of diacritical marks for phonetic or orthographic distinctions. The COMBINING DOTTED GRAVE ACCENT can be combined with other Unicode characters to create a single, unified glyph, showcasing its versatility and adaptability within digital text. Despite its niche usage, this character plays an essential role in accurate representation and communication across diverse linguistic landscapes.
