Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶠ has the Unicode code point U+1DA0. 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+1DA0 to binary:
00011101 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1DA0 is classified as a Modifier Letter Small F (‘’). In the realm of typography and digital text, its primary purpose lies within its role as a modifier letter, which means that it serves to adjust the behavior or appearance of other letters within a text. Specifically, the character U+1DA0 modifies the letter 'f' by changing its case or other properties in specific contexts. However, it is crucial to note that this character's usage is relatively rare and may not be widely recognized across different font sets and platforms. Nevertheless, it remains an important symbol within specialized domains such as linguistics or cryptography, where the subtleties of letter modification can significantly impact the meaning or functionality of the text. In these contexts, U+1DA0 proves its value by contributing to the precise expression of ideas and concepts that would otherwise be inaccessible through standard alphabetic characters.
