Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶩ has the Unicode code point U+1DA9. 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+1DA9 to binary:
00011101 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+1DA9, known as the Modifier Letter Small L with Retroflex Hook, is a typographical character predominantly used in digital text for its specific role within various scripts and typographic systems. This character is crucial in linguistic contexts where it serves to modify other letters, particularly in languages that use retroflex consonants. Its unique form, featuring a small 'l' with a retroflex hook, enables it to distinguish the phonetic or phonological properties of the adjacent letter in text, thus improving clarity and comprehension. Although not widely known or used outside of specific linguistic communities, U+1DA9 plays a vital role in accurately representing languages that employ retroflex sounds. By understanding and utilizing this character, typographers and digital content creators can more effectively cater to the needs of diverse audiences and preserve the integrity of various language systems.
