Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳮ has the Unicode code point U+1CEE. 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+1CEE to binary:
00011100 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+1CEE is the Unicode code point for VEDIC SIGN HEXIFORM LONG ANUSVARA. This character is predominantly used in digital text within the realm of typography, particularly in academic texts that deal with historical linguistics, specifically Vedic Sanskrit studies. In Vedic Sanskrit script, it represents a long nasalized 'a' sound, which was unique to ancient Indian languages and not found in modern Sanskrit or other languages. The Long Anusvara is also known as the "over-dot" or "under-dot," due to its distinctive appearance as a vertical line with a hook at either the top or bottom end. Notably, this character holds immense cultural significance as it forms part of the oldest extant script in India, dating back to around 1500 BCE. It has been integral to the preservation and transmission of sacred texts such as the Vedas, which form the basis of Hindu religious beliefs and practices. The existence of U+1CEE in digital text not only allows for the accurate representation of ancient Vedic Sanskrit but also facilitates the study and understanding of this ancient language by researchers and scholars worldwide.
