Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴍ has the Unicode code point U+1D0D. 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+1D0D to binary:
00011101 00001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The character U+1D0D, also known as "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL M," holds a significant position in the realm of digital text. It primarily serves as an uppercase variant of the letter 'M' in typographic styles that employ small capitals, offering an alternative to the traditional lowercase and uppercase forms for improved readability and aesthetic appeal. Although it is part of the Unicode standard, which encompasses a vast array of characters from different writing systems, the use of U+1D0D remains relatively niche due to its specialized context within typography. This character finds its application primarily in professional design, editorial content, and digital publishing, where the need for a distinct, visually balanced appearance prevails.
