Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴤ has the Unicode code point U+1D24. 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+1D24 to binary:
00011101 00100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1D24 represents the "Latin Letter Voiced Laryngeal Spirant," a letter that holds significance in digital text for its specific phonetic representation. This character, however, is not widely used in daily linguistic contexts, as it serves a more specialized role in certain technical and linguistic fields, such as phonetics and orthography. It symbolizes a voiced spirant at the laryngeal level, which refers to a consonantal sound produced by a complete or near-complete closure of the vocal tract, followed by a gradual release of air creating a continuous fricative or approximant sound. Despite its limited usage in everyday language, the U+1D24 Latin Letter Voiced Laryngeal Spirant serves as an essential tool for accurate phonetic transcription and analysis, particularly within the fields of linguistics, dialectology, and speech therapy.
