Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳔ has the Unicode code point U+1CD4. 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+1CD4 to binary:
00011100 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1CD4 is a specialized Unicode character representing the Vedic Sign Yajurvedic Midline Svarita (झ). This character holds importance in digital text as it's used for transcribing Indian languages, particularly those that have roots in the ancient Vedic script. The symbol is crucial in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when working with these languages. The Vedic Sign Yajurvedic Midline Svarita is a part of the Vedic script system developed during the Vedic period (1500–500 BCE). It's composed of Devanagari, an abugida writing system used for several modern Indo-Aryan languages, and the Brahmi script which was adapted from Aramaic in the 4th century BC. In its cultural context, it's deeply rooted in ancient religious texts like the Rigveda and the Yajurveda of Hinduism. Its technical significance lies in facilitating correct text representation and preserving linguistic integrity in digital communications.
