Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴜ has the Unicode code point U+1D1C. 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+1D1C to binary:
00011101 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
The character U+1D1C, known as the "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL U", is an uppercase letter in the Unicode Standard. It is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific alphabetical variant that falls outside of the standard Latin script utilized in most languages. This character finds its significance in various specialized contexts, such as palaeography (the study of ancient writing), codicology (the study of manuscripts), and cryptography (the practice of securing communication). In these fields, U+1D1C aids scholars and enthusiasts in accurately depicting historical texts, manuscripts, or ciphers that employ unique alphabetic variations. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures global compatibility and accessibility for digital text, while maintaining its distinct cultural and linguistic relevance.
