Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+18AD. 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+18AD to binary:
00011000 10101101. 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 10100010 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+18AD represents the "MODIFIER LATIN SMALL LETTER A" (CHARACTER 18AD) in digital text. This character is a modifier letter that is commonly used in various typographical settings, such as transcribing languages with complex writing systems or creating abbreviations and acronyms. U+18AD does not have any specific cultural or linguistic context associated with it, but it plays an essential role in the proper representation of certain characters when combined with other Unicode characters. In technical terms, the MODIFIER LATIN SMALL LETTER A (U+18AD) is a diacritical mark that can be applied to different base characters to modify their behavior or appearance, making it an important tool for accurate and precise digital typography.
