Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳹ has the Unicode code point U+1CF9. 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+1CF9 to binary:
00011100 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+1CF9, known as the Vedic Tone Double Ring Above, plays a significant role in the representation of ancient Vedic Sanskrit texts and modern Indo-Aryan languages. It is primarily used in digital text to denote a distinctive Vedic tone system which was prevalent in the early Vedic scriptures. This phonetic symbol is essential for accurate pronunciation, translation, and interpretation of these sacred texts, as it denotes a particular tonal value that distinguishes between various words or phrases with similar spelling but different meanings. The character's usage can be traced back to ancient Vedic manuscripts and remains crucial in the study of linguistics, comparative religion, and Indian classical traditions. By understanding the role of U+1CF9 in these texts, scholars and researchers can better analyze and appreciate the complexity and richness of these historical languages.
