Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶞ has the Unicode code point U+1D9E. 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+1D9E to binary:
00011101 10011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1D9E, known as the Modifier Letter Small ETH, is a typographical element primarily used in digital texts to represent a specific character or modification of letters. It does not have a direct symbolic representation, but rather serves as an indicator for other characters that may follow it, often altering their form or function. The Modifier Letter Small ETH is part of the Ethiopic script, which consists of 275 characters and is used to write several languages in the Horn of Africa region. This character, along with others in the Ethiopic script, plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity within digital texts that are intended for readers familiar with these languages.
