Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴢ has the Unicode code point U+1D22. 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+1D22 to binary:
00011101 00100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+1D22 is the Unicode code point for the Latin letter Small Capital Z. This character is used in digital texts to represent a lowercase version of the letter 'Z' with an elevated capitalization style, commonly known as small capitals. Although not widely used in modern English typography, small capitals were prevalent in traditional print and manuscript works, particularly in the context of fine arts, design, and historical documents. The Latin script, which includes the letter Z, has its origins dating back to the Roman Empire, making it one of the most enduring writing systems in human history. In digital text, U+1D22 can be utilized to maintain a consistent stylistic format or to adhere to specific design preferences and conventions.
