Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶈ has the Unicode code point U+1D88. 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+1D88 to binary:
00011101 10001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1D88, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH PALATAL HOOK," is an alphabetic character primarily used in digital text to represent a modified version of the lowercase letter 'p.' This unique symbol is part of the Latin Extended-B script block and was added to Unicode version 5.1 in October 2006. U+1D88 holds a notable role in typography, particularly for those involved in linguistics or cultural studies, as it serves to differentiate between similar phonetic sounds in certain languages. The palatal hook modification is an essential diacritic that alters the pronunciation of the letter 'p' from a bilabial plosive to a palato-alveolar plosive, making it a crucial element in accurate transcription and representation of certain dialects or languages. As a result, U+1D88 is an important tool for linguists, anthropologists, and language learners seeking to accurately represent the sounds and nuances of diverse languages and dialects within digital text.
