Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳛ has the Unicode code point U+1CDB. 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+1CDB to binary:
00011100 11011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1CDB, known as VEDIC TONE TRIPLE SVARITA, is a specialized typographical symbol primarily employed in digital text representation of the ancient Vedic script, an influential Indian language system. Its usage is predominantly cultural and linguistic, serving to signify a specific phonetic or tonal characteristic in Vedic texts. The VEDIC TONE TRIPLE SVARITA is part of the early stages of the Indo-Aryan languages family, which encompasses various dialects used in ancient religious and philosophical texts, such as the Rigveda and other sacred scriptures. Its presence in digital text signifies a commitment to preserving cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity. As an obscure and specialized character, it contributes to the rich tapestry of global language representation, demonstrating the extensive reach and versatility of Unicode as a standardized encoding system.
