Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵬ has the Unicode code point U+1D6C. 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+1D6C to binary:
00011101 01101100. 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 10110101 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+1D6C, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER B WITH MIDDLE TILDE," holds a unique role in digital text typography. It is a variant of the letter 'b' with a middle tilde (~) diacritic mark, which visually distinguishes it from the standard lowercase 'b'. This character is commonly used in various digital platforms to represent a specific sound or phonetic difference in certain languages and dialects that utilize the Latin script. It is predominantly found in linguistic contexts where the middle tilde signifies an altered pronunciation or allophone of the base letter 'b'. Despite not being widely used, the U+1D6C character serves as a valuable tool for researchers, linguists, and typographers working with languages that employ these unique phonetic distinctions.
