Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶇ has the Unicode code point U+1D87. 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+1D87 to binary:
00011101 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1D87, known as LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH PALATAL HOOK, is a typographic symbol that holds a unique place in digital text due to its specific use in certain languages and scripts. This special character plays a crucial role in linguistic contexts where it represents the phonetic pronunciation of the letter 'n' with a palatal articulation, which is distinct from the standard pronunciation of the letter 'n'. In some languages, this subtle distinction in pronunciation can significantly affect the meaning and interpretation of words. The LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH PALATAL HOOK character is not widely used outside these specific linguistic contexts but holds importance for those who need to accurately represent the palatal 'n' sound in their digital communications. As typography continues to evolve, so does the demand for precise representation of diverse sounds and language features, highlighting the continued relevance of characters like U+1D87 in Unicode.
