Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳟ has the Unicode code point U+1CDF. 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+1CDF to binary:
00011100 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+1CDF, also known as VEDIC TONE THREE DOTS BELOW, is a Unicode character with the typographical role of representing a specific accentuation used in Vedic Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. In digital text, this character serves to mark the third tone in Vedic Sanskrit, which is essential for correct pronunciation and understanding of the text. The character's usage in linguistic contexts reflects its importance in the preservation and study of the Vedic texts, which are sacred scriptures of Hinduism. In technical terms, U+1CDF helps maintain the accuracy and authenticity of Vedic Sanskrit texts by providing a means to represent this specific phonetic feature accurately.
