Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶢ has the Unicode code point U+1DA2. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1DA2 to binary:
00011101 10100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+1DA2 is a character from the Unicode standard, known as the Modifier Letter Small Script G. It primarily serves a functional role in digital text, acting as an accent or diacritic mark used to modify other characters. Specifically, it is used in combination with uppercase 'S' (U+0053) or 'G' (U+0074), serving as a modifier that alters the shape of these letters when applied. The Modifier Letter Small Script G is an essential component for representing certain words and phrases in specific languages, where it helps convey nuanced meanings or distinctions in pronunciation. Although this character does not have a direct representation in most widely-used languages, it remains an important aspect of digital typography, particularly when working with lesser-known or minority languages that may utilize such diacritical marks.
