Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳞ has the Unicode code point U+1CDE. 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+1CDE to binary:
00011100 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1CDE represents the "VEDIC TONE TWO DOTS BELOW" in digital text. This character plays a crucial role in transcribing Vedic texts, which are sacred ancient Indian scripts primarily used for religious and philosophical discourse. It is part of a set of Vedic tone marks that help indicate phonetic nuances and syntactical elements in these texts. The Vedic Tone Two Dots Below (U+1CDE) specifically denotes the second tone in the Vedic system, which is essential for accurately conveying the intended meaning in Vedic literature. Due to its cultural significance and importance in maintaining the authenticity of ancient Indian texts, the U+1CDE character continues to be a vital tool in modern digital typography, particularly within linguistic and religious contexts.
