Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶛ has the Unicode code point U+1D9B. 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+1D9B to binary:
00011101 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1D9B, known as the Modifier Letter Small Turned Alpha, plays a significant role in digital typography, specifically in creating diacritic marks for various alphabets. This character is commonly used to represent the "turned small" form of uppercase Latin letters, which involves rotating the letter by 90 degrees clockwise while maintaining its orientation relative to the base line. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character has been widely adopted in various languages that employ modified alphabets, such as Icelandic, where it is used alongside the "Turned A" character (U+1D9C) for consistency in typography. By adhering to strict accuracy and precision, U+1D9B contributes to the accurate representation of language-specific features and helps preserve linguistic identity and heritage in digital texts.
