Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳗ has the Unicode code point U+1CD7. 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+1CD7 to binary:
00011100 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+1CD7 represents the Vedic tone Yajurvedic Kathaka Independent Svarita (VTYKS) in digital text. This character is primarily used within the field of Indology, particularly in the study of ancient Indian texts and manuscripts. Specifically, it is employed to denote a unique tonal symbol found in the Yajurveda, one of the four primary Vedic texts in Hinduism. The Yajurveda is distinguished by its focus on rituals and prayers, which require precise pronunciation and intonation. The VTYKS character serves as an important element for scholars, researchers, and linguists working with the Yajurveda and other ancient Indian texts. Its accurate representation in digital formats enables the preservation of cultural heritage and facilitates better understanding and interpretation of these historical sources. As a result, U+1CD7 plays a crucial role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of scholarly works on Vedic literature, ensuring that future generations can continue to study and appreciate this significant aspect of human history.
