Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶺ has the Unicode code point U+1DBA. 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+1DBA to binary:
00011101 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+1DBA is a Unicode character that represents the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL TURNED V" (U+1DBA). This typographical symbol is classified under the category of Modifier Letters, which are a group of characters designed to be used with base letters, primarily in phonetic or other transcription systems. U+1DBA is not commonly seen in everyday text but has its specific use cases within particular domains such as linguistics, onomastics (the scientific study of proper names), and specialized transcription schemes. This character is often employed in conjunction with base letters to denote phonetic variations or specific pronunciations. For instance, it may be used in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or other similar transcription systems to represent a distinct sound. The "SMALL TURNED V" indicates that the following letter should be modified by turning it on its side, making it visually distinctive from the standard version of the letter. Although U+1DBA does not have a significant cultural or linguistic presence, it serves as an essential tool for scholars and professionals in fields like phonetics, linguistics, and transcription studies. By using this character in combination with other Unicode letters, users can create accurate and precise phonetic representations that help facilitate communication across various languages and dialects.
