Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳠ has the Unicode code point U+1CE0. 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+1CE0 to binary:
00011100 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+1CE0 (VEDIC TONE RIGVEDIC KASHMIRI INDEPENDENT SVARITA) is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text to represent a specific tonal element found in the Vedic and Rigvedic script traditions. In these ancient scripts, the character is utilized as an independent phonetic symbol to denote the unique "Svārita" sound. The Svārita was a distinct vowel sound used in the Rigveda, which is one of the oldest sacred texts in Hinduism and the foundation of the Vedic religion. This character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance as it contributes to preserving and restoring the authentic pronunciation of the ancient text, thereby facilitating a more accurate understanding and interpretation of these sacred scriptures. It also plays an important role in modern computational linguistics, where it helps researchers and scholars analyze and study the nuances of historical Indo-Aryan languages.
