Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶵ has the Unicode code point U+1DB5. 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+1DB5 to binary:
00011101 10110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1DB5, known as the Modifier Letter Small t with Palatal Hook, is a specialized letter used primarily in phonetic transcription. It serves to represent the palatalized pronunciation of the sound "t" in various languages and dialects. This typographic symbol plays a significant role in linguistic research, comparative philology, and orthography development. The Modifier Letter Small t with Palatal Hook is primarily used in conjunction with the Latin Extended-B script, which includes additional letters and symbols for transcribing languages that require such distinctions. Although its usage may seem niche, it has cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to the diversity of human speech sounds and the need for accurate transcription systems in various fields such as linguistics, phonetics, and language development.
