Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⹅ has the Unicode code point U+2E45. 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+2E45 to binary:
00101110 01000101. 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 10111001 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+2E45, known as the Inverted Low Kavya, is a unique symbol used primarily in digital text. It serves an important role in typography for its distinct appearance, which is essentially an inverted version of the traditional Kavya script. The Kavya script, native to the ancient Indian region of Gandhara, has deep cultural and linguistic significance, as it was one of the earliest forms of writing systems used in India. The Inverted Low Kavya's unique design is a reflection of its origin from the ancient Kavya script, which has been adapted over time to fit into various digital text formats. It demonstrates how versatile and adaptable typography can be, as it has managed to maintain its cultural and historical significance while also fitting seamlessly into modern digital text applications. In terms of technical context, the Inverted Low Kavya is part of the Unicode Standard, a system that ensures consistent encoding for characters across different programming languages and platforms. By being included in this system, it allows for greater accessibility and interoperability when using this unique symbol in digital text.
