Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶜ has the Unicode code point U+1D9C. 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+1D9C to binary:
00011101 10011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1D9C, known as the Modifier Letter Small C (↉), serves a specialized role within digital text systems. This character is primarily utilized in phonetic alphabets such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and other similar transcription frameworks. In these contexts, the Modifier Letter Small C functions as a diacritic or modifying element that denotes a specific pronunciation modification to the preceding letter or sound. By altering the base character's phonemic representation, it allows users to accurately convey various linguistic nuances and pronunciation variations within a text. The U+1D9C character plays a crucial role in enabling precise and efficient communication of language-specific details in transcriptional and linguistic studies, contributing to the preservation and understanding of diverse spoken languages worldwide.
