Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳙ has the Unicode code point U+1CD9. 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+1CD9 to binary:
00011100 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+1CD9 represents the "VEDIC TONE YAJURVEDIC KATHAKA INDEPENDENT SVARITA SCHROEDER." This character is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific tonal or accentual mark in Vedic literature, particularly in the Yajurveda, one of the four major ancient sacred texts of Hinduism. The character's role is crucial in accurately transcribing and preserving the phonetic and accentual features of the original Sanskrit text as written in the Kathaka Samhita, a section of the Yajurveda. As a linguistic and cultural artifact, it carries significant weight in the study of Vedic literature and ancient Indian linguistics. Its usage is essential for maintaining the integrity of scholarly work in these fields and ensuring that the nuances of the original text are accurately conveyed to future generations.
