Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⩧ has the Unicode code point U+2A67. 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+2A67 to binary:
00101010 01100111
. 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:
11100010 10101001 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2A67 is known as the "IDENTICAL WITH DOT ABOVE". It plays a significant role in various digital texts, especially in linguistics where it's commonly used to denote a specific phonetic or orthographic feature of certain languages. This character is often utilized in transcription and transliteration systems for alphabets that use the Latin script but lack specific characters due to differences in language or regional dialects. For instance, it can represent the English 'a' when pronounced identically to the French 'e'. Despite its relatively less-known status compared to other Unicode characters, U+2A67 provides a valuable tool for linguists and those working with various languages that utilize different phonetic nuances.
