Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶙ has the Unicode code point U+1D99. 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+1D99 to binary:
00011101 10011001. 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 10011001

Description
The character U+1D99, known as the Latin Small Letter U with Retroflex Hook, is a Unicode symbol that plays a significant role in digital text. This letter is unique due to its distinct retroflex hook, which sets it apart from other Latin script letters. In certain linguistic contexts, particularly within the Kannada language, this character is used to represent the phoneme /ɻ/. The retroflex sound is produced when the tip of the tongue curls back towards the palate in the articulation of a consonant. This symbol's use contributes to the richness and diversity of written communication across various languages and cultures. In typography, U+1D99 is often employed for transcription purposes or to accurately represent words from lesser-known languages. Its accurate representation helps maintain the integrity of linguistic studies and cross-cultural communication.
