Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳜ has the Unicode code point U+1CDC. 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+1CDC to binary:
00011100 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+1CDC (VEDIC TONE KATHAKA ANUDATTA) is a Unicode character that holds significant value within the realm of typography and digital text. This specific character is an integral part of the Vedic Sanskrit script, which was widely used in ancient India for religious, scientific, and literary purposes. The Vedic Tone Kathaka Anudattha symbol represents a particular phonetic sound or accent in the ancient Vedic texts, specifically belonging to the category of anusvara, denoting a glottal stop or a short pause. In digital text, U+1CDC serves as a means to accurately represent and preserve the authenticity of ancient Vedic texts while also facilitating their interpretation by linguists, scholars, and researchers. As Unicode continues to expand its character set, it ensures that more languages and scripts are digitally preserved for future generations. This character, in particular, highlights the importance of preserving and understanding cultural and linguistic heritage through digital representation.
