Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳲ has the Unicode code point U+1CF2. 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+1CF2 to binary:
00011100 11110010. 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 10110011 10110010

Description
The Vedic Sign Ardhavisarga (U+1CF2) is a character from the Indic script family, primarily used in Sanskrit and other ancient Vedic texts. Its role in digital text is to represent the combination of 'rdhA' and 'visargA', which are two Vedic phonemes. This character is part of the Indic Script Technical Panel (ISTP) proposal to Unicode, aimed at providing a comprehensive set of characters for rendering ancient Sanskrit texts accurately in digital form. The U+1CF2 character plays a vital role in linguistic and cultural contexts, particularly in the study and preservation of Vedic literature, which forms an essential part of the religious and philosophical traditions in India and other parts of South Asia.
