Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶖ has the Unicode code point U+1D96. 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+1D96 to binary:
00011101 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1D96 represents the Latin small letter I with Retroflex Hook (సి). This typographic symbol is crucial in digital text for accurately representing specific sounds and linguistic nuances, particularly in languages that use retroflex consonants. In particular, this character is predominantly used in the Indic script system, specifically in Telugu, a Dravidian language spoken by millions of people primarily in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The Latin small letter I with Retroflex Hook plays an essential role in transcribing retroflex sounds, which are characterized by the position of the tongue's tip curling upward to touch the alveolar ridge behind the upper teeth. This unique feature helps distinguish this character from other similar symbols, contributing to accurate and clear communication in digital text across various platforms and devices.
