Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶆ has the Unicode code point U+1D86. 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+1D86 to binary:
00011101 10000110. 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 10000110

Description
The character U+1D86, known as the Latin Small Letter M with Palatal Hook, is a specialized letter used primarily in typography and digital text applications. It plays a significant role in representing sounds that are distinct from the regular 'M' in certain languages or dialects. This unique letter is part of the Unicode standard, which aims to provide a consistent encoding system for text representation across various platforms and devices. Although it may not be widely used in everyday digital communication, its inclusion in the Unicode standard showcases the richness and diversity of global language systems. The Latin Small Letter M with Palatal Hook is an essential tool for linguists, typographers, and language enthusiasts who work with lesser-known languages or dialects that require this specific phonetic distinction.
