Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᶽ has the Unicode code point U+1DBD. 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+1DBD to binary:
00011101 10111101
. 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 10111101

Description
U+1DBD, or the Modifier Letter Small Z with Curl, is a unique character found within the Unicode standard. Its role in digital text often involves acting as an accent or modifier for certain letters, such as the letter 'z'. This enables the creation of distinctive and expressive combinations that may be essential for specific languages or typographic needs. Although the Modifier Letter Small Z with Curl is not widely used, it holds importance in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts where unique character styles are required to convey precise meanings or aesthetics.
