Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴃ has the Unicode code point U+1D03. 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+1D03 to binary:
00011101 00000011
. 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 10000011

Description
U+1D03, also known as the Latin Letter Small Capital Barred B, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within Unicode encoding. It belongs to the Latin Extended-C subset of the Unicode character set and was added in Version 5.0 (June, 2006). This character is often used for specific purposes in linguistics, cryptography, or typography where its distinct visual appearance is needed to convey unique meaning or differentiate from similar characters. Its primary function lies in its small capital form, providing a clear and easily recognizable distinction from the regular uppercase "B" (U+0042) or lowercase "b" (U+0062). However, it's worth noting that this character is not widely used across digital platforms due to its specialized nature.
