Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ƌ has the Unicode code point U+018B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+018B to binary:
00000001 10001011
. 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:
11000110 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+018B, known as the Latin Capital Letter D with Topbar (𝒷), is a typographical glyph utilized in digital text for various purposes. This character is primarily used to represent a distinct letter form within certain regional or historical alphabets, as it deviates from the standard capital 'D' in the Basic Latin alphabet (U+0044). U+018B finds its application in linguistic and cultural contexts that require the use of special characters for emphasis, distinction, or stylistic expression. In technical contexts, this character is often employed to differentiate text or create unique visual designs. The Latin Capital Letter D with Topbar contributes to the richness and diversity of written communication by offering an alternative representation beyond the standardized alphabet.
