Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴪ has the Unicode code point U+1D2A. 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+1D2A to binary:
00011101 00101010. 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 10110100 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+1D2A represents the Greek letter small capital Psi (Ψ ψ), which is used in both mathematical notation and typography. In digital text, it serves as a symbol for various concepts, including psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychology-related terms like psychophysics, psychoacoustics, and psychoactive substances. The Greek letter Psi is significant in ancient cultures, where it was used to represent the god of dreams and the unconscious mind in mythology. It also holds importance in mathematics and computer science as an encoding character for data streams, particularly in the realm of information theory. The usage of U+1D2A in digital text is widespread due to its versatility, enabling accurate representation of various disciplines and concepts within a single character set.
