Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴇ has the Unicode code point U+1D07. 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+1D07 to binary:
00011101 00000111
. 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 10000111

Description
U+1D07, the Latin Letter Small Capital E, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that represents a small capitalized version of the letter 'E'. While it may not be as commonly used as its uppercase or lowercase counterparts, this character plays an essential role in digital text where the visual representation of the letter differs from traditional typographic norms. This specific letter is particularly significant in linguistic contexts that utilize small capitalization for stylistic purposes or when adhering to certain writing systems. Its inclusion in Unicode demonstrates the comprehensive nature of the standard, which aims to accommodate a wide range of typographical variations and cultural expressions in digital text.
