Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳕ has the Unicode code point U+1CD5. 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+1CD5 to binary:
00011100 11010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1CD5, known as the Vedic Tone Yajurvedic Aggravated Independent Svārita, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of ancient Vedic literature and Sanskrit studies. This unique symbol represents an accented variant of the Svārita sound in the Yajurveda recension of the Vedas. In the traditional Yajurvedic chanting, the Svārita is a syllabic phoneme, often used as an independent syllable or as a syllable-final consonant's modifier, which helps maintain the melodic and rhythmic structure of the sacred hymns. As such, U+1CD5 is crucial in accurately transcribing and analyzing ancient Vedic texts in digital format, ensuring the preservation and understanding of these culturally and linguistically rich documents.
