Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵦ has the Unicode code point U+1D66. 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+1D66 to binary:
00011101 01100110. 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 10110101 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+1D66, Greek Subscript Small Letter Beta, plays a significant role in digital typography, specifically in mathematical equations and scientific notation. It is used to represent the subscripted lowercase Greek letter beta (β), which helps differentiate between an element's base and exponent in exponential expressions or indicate a specific variable in complex formulas. The character is part of the Greek Extended Alphabet group within the Unicode Standard, contributing to the richness of digital text representation across various languages and disciplines. Its use in linguistic and technical contexts demonstrates the versatility of the Unicode system in encoding and displaying a diverse range of scripts and symbols for global communication and understanding.
