Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶯ has the Unicode code point U+1DAF. 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+1DAF to binary:
00011101 10101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+1DAF, known as the Modifier Letter Small N with Retroflex Hook, serves a specific role within the realm of digital text. This glyph is classified under the "Modifier Letters" category in the Unicode Standard, which encompasses characters that are used to modify or alter the base letters they accompany. U+1DAF is predominantly employed in certain African languages, particularly among the Dogon people of Mali and Niger, where it helps to adjust the pronunciation of consonants, specifically N, to produce a retroflex sound. In this context, its use can be observed within the orthography of these languages. Although not extensively used, the character plays a vital role in preserving linguistic authenticity and promoting effective communication among speakers of these languages.
