Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶕ has the Unicode code point U+1D95. 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+1D95 to binary:
00011101 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1D95, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA WITH RETROFLEX HOOK," is a specialized typographic element used in digital text to represent a specific linguistic sound or phoneme. This character belongs to the Latin script family and combines two distinct features: the schwa sound (a central vowel sound in many languages) and a retroflex hook, which refers to the positioning of the tip of the tongue curved backward towards the palate during pronunciation. In certain linguistic contexts, this character is employed to accurately depict specific phonetic variations, particularly useful for linguists, phoneticians, and those working with languages that exhibit complex phonemic systems or dialectal differences. The U+1D95 Latin Small Letter Schwa With Retroflex Hook plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling more precise representation of spoken sounds and supporting better communication across diverse languages and dialects.
