Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FCD. 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+0FCD to binary:
00001111 11001101. 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:
11100000 10111111 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0FCD, represented by the code point 0FCD, is known as the "Combining Diacritical Mark for a Downwards Arrow Above" in digital text. This character serves a specific purpose within typography and linguistics, playing a crucial role in the representation of certain languages or accents that require an arrow-shaped diacritic. Typically, this symbol is used to modify other characters by adding a downward pointing arrow above them, which can change the meaning, pronunciation, or visual appearance of the base character it modifies. The U+0FCD character is most commonly found in linguistic contexts where it plays a vital role in various languages that use diacritical marks. While its usage may not be widespread in everyday text, it has particular significance for specialists and scholars working with less common or lesser-known languages. It enables accurate representation of specific phonetic properties or grammatical distinctions within these languages by combining with other characters to create unique symbols or diacritics. In summary, the Unicode character U+0FCD, or Combining Diacritical Mark for a Downwards Arrow Above, is a specialized typographic element used to modify other characters in digital text, primarily in the context of linguistic representation and expression. It enables accurate representation of specific phonetic properties or grammatical distinctions within certain languages that utilize diacritical marks and arrow-shaped symbols.
