Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶨ has the Unicode code point U+1DA8. 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+1DA8 to binary:
00011101 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+1DA8 is the Unicode code point for the Modifier Letter Small J with Crossed-Tail character. This typographical symbol is part of a broader set known as the "Latin Extended Additional" block, which was added to the Unicode Standard in 2014. Its typical usage or role in digital text involves serving as a modifier in various languages and scripts that utilize the Latin script. It helps to modify the shape of subsequent letters in a particular word or phrase by altering its crossbar. The Modifier Letter Small J with Crossed-Tail character is primarily used in languages such as Kurdish, where it plays a significant role in modifying the letter 'J' in certain orthographic rules. This character is essential for maintaining accuracy and readability in text written in these languages. Although its use may be limited to specific linguistic contexts, it remains an important aspect of typography and digital text representation, contributing to the rich diversity of scripts supported by Unicode.
