Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳐ has the Unicode code point U+1CD0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1CD0 to binary:
00011100 11010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1CD0 represents the "VEDIC TONE KARSHANA." This character is primarily used in digital text to denote a specific tone or pitch accent in Vedic Sanskrit, an ancient language of India dating back to around 1500 BCE. The Vedic Tone Karshana is a phonetic feature that distinguishes between homophones and has been crucial for the accurate interpretation of sacred texts like the Rigveda. In the Unicode Standard, this character falls under the Brahmi script family, which has a rich history and has significantly influenced the development of modern Indian scripts.
