Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶷ has the Unicode code point U+1DB7. 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+1DB7 to binary:
00011101 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+1DB7, known as the Modifier Letter Small Upsilon, plays a significant role in digital typography and is utilized to represent a modified version of the Greek letter Upsilon (Υ). This character is used primarily in linguistic contexts where the application of diacritical marks is necessary for accurately conveying meaning. The use of this character is predominantly found within the Ainu language, an indigenous language spoken by the Ainu people of Japan and Russia. In this specific case, it serves to modify the pronunciation or phonetic characteristics of certain words. Despite its relatively niche application, the Modifier Letter Small Upsilon remains a vital component in maintaining the integrity and accuracy of digital text, particularly within linguistic fields that require diacritical marks for precise communication.
