Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵪ has the Unicode code point U+1D6A. 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+1D6A to binary:
00011101 01101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+1D6A represents the Greek Subscript Small Letter Chi (Γ), which serves a specific role in mathematical notation, particularly within digital text. This character is often used to denote a subscripted version of the letter 'χ' in various fields such as mathematics, chemistry, and other scientific disciplines. In these contexts, it may be employed to indicate a lower-case Greek letter that appears beneath another symbol or letter. Although U+1D6A may not have significant cultural or linguistic associations like many other Greek letters, its presence in digital text contributes to the precision and clarity of mathematical equations and scientific expressions. The use of this character is essential for maintaining accuracy and avoiding confusion within these specialized domains, as it helps distinguish subscripted elements from superscripts or surrounding text.
