Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶂ has the Unicode code point U+1D82. 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+1D82 to binary:
00011101 10000010
. 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 10110110 10000010

Description
U+1D82, also known as the Latin Small Letter F with Palatal Hook, is a typographic character that holds significant importance in digital text. This Unicode character represents a unique variant of the lowercase letter 'f', which is distinguished by its palatal hook. The palatal hook is an additional stroke originating from the top of the letter and curling back towards the base. The Latin Small Letter F with Palatal Hook has its roots in various alphabetic scripts, particularly those influenced by the Italian or Spanish typography traditions. In these contexts, it serves to differentiate between similar phonological sounds or to indicate specific linguistic features within a word. As an increasingly globally recognized standard for digital text representation, U+1D82 has become indispensable in accurate transcription and communication across diverse languages and cultures. This character exemplifies the power of Unicode in facilitating cross-linguistic understanding and fostering cultural exchange in our interconnected digital world.
