Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵹ has the Unicode code point U+1D79. 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+1D79 to binary:
00011101 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+1D79 is the Unicode code point for the character "LATIN SMALL LETTER INSULAR G." This character is part of the Extended Latin alphabet, which extends the basic Latin script with additional characters for various languages and regional dialects. The typical usage of this character in digital text is to represent the lowercase version of the letter "G" in the Insular alphabet, a variant used primarily in Ireland during the Middle Ages. Although not widely used today in mainstream language or typography, it holds significance for linguists, historians, and those studying medieval Irish manuscripts. The character's inclusion in Unicode ensures its preservation and accessibility for future generations to study and appreciate its historical and cultural context.
