Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴁ has the Unicode code point U+1D01. 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+1D01 to binary:
00011101 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1D01, known as the "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL AE," is a typographical element primarily used in digital text for its distinct appearance and cultural significance. This character is classified under the category of Latin letters and is part of the Extended Latina script block. Although it may not be commonly found in everyday writing systems, U+1D01 plays an important role in certain linguistic contexts where the "ae" combination occurs, such as Old Icelandic or Old Irish texts. In these instances, the small capital AE serves to represent a distinct phonetic sound that is unique from both "a" and "æ." In terms of typography and visual aesthetics, U+1D01 provides a more visually balanced alternative to the lowercase "ae," as it maintains a consistent case with the surrounding text while still signifying the same phonetic value. This makes it particularly useful in typesetting for historical texts or specialized documents that require accurate representation of archaic linguistic features. To sum up, U+1D01, the LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL AE, is a typographical character with cultural and linguistic significance primarily used in digital text to represent the phonetic sound found in certain historical texts. Its usage ensures consistency in case while providing an accurate representation of the original language's intent, making it an essential tool for typographers and scholars working with archaic languages or specialized documents.
