Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴌ has the Unicode code point U+1D0C. 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+1D0C to binary:
00011101 00001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+1D0C represents the "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL L WITH STROKE". In digital text, this character is primarily used in typography and design for its unique appearance, which differentiates it from a standard lowercase 'L'. It features a horizontal stroke through the middle of the letter, giving it a distinct visual style that can be utilized to enhance readability or aesthetic appeal. While the LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL L WITH STROKE is not commonly used in everyday language, it may appear in specialized contexts such as programming languages, mathematical notation, or when creating custom fonts for specific purposes. Its usage reflects the broader role of Unicode, which aims to provide a comprehensive character set for representing text from all writing systems across the world.
