Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳥ has the Unicode code point U+1CE5. 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+1CE5 to binary:
00011100 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1CE5, known as VEDIC SIGN VISARGA ANUDATTA, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to represent the elongated version of the Visarga diacritic in Vedic Sanskrit. It is significant in the context of ancient Indian scriptures and religious texts such as the Vedas, where it is employed to denote a nasalized, elongated vowel sound. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity of digital texts, especially those related to classical Indian literature and historical documents. It is also essential for researchers and scholars working on Sanskrit language and Vedic studies.
