Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶲ has the Unicode code point U+1DB2. 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+1DB2 to binary:
00011101 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1DB2, known as the Modifier Letter Small Phi (ϕ), is a typographical element with specific roles in digital text. It is typically used to represent a small form of the Greek letter Phi, which holds significant value in mathematics and certain areas of science due to its association with the concept of 'phi,' or the golden ratio (approximately 1.618033988749895). This character is a part of the Modifier Letters group, which includes various diacritical marks in the Unicode Standard. Although not commonly seen in everyday text, the use of U+1DB2 can be beneficial when working with specialized software or applications requiring specific typographic conventions. While it doesn't have a direct connection to any particular culture or language, its application might be noted in fields like linguistics and typography, where accurate representation and usage of characters are essential. In summary, the Modifier Letter Small Phi (ϕ) is a specialized Unicode character, used primarily in mathematical and scientific contexts, as well as in software applications requiring specific typographic marks.
