Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶊ has the Unicode code point U+1D8A. 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+1D8A to binary:
00011101 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+1D8A, also known as Latin Small Letter S with Palatal Hook, is a unique typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text. This distinctive letter is primarily used in the Esperanto language, serving as a lowercase version of the "ŝ" letter. The Palatal Hook (called "hachismo" in Esperanto) represents the pronunciation of the consonant "ʃ," similar to the English sound in "sh." Its use in Esperanto enables speakers of various languages to write and communicate effectively, as it maintains a consistent phonetic representation across different dialects. Despite being less common in other languages, U+1D8A remains an important element within the typography of Esperanto and Unicode, contributing to its rich linguistic diversity and fostering global communication.
