Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵰ has the Unicode code point U+1D70. 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+1D70 to binary:
00011101 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1D70, known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH MIDDLE TILDE," holds a unique position in the world of typography and digital text. It is primarily used to represent a lowercase 'n' with a middle tilde (~) in various typographic or linguistic contexts, such as in Unicode-supported digital documents, websites, or mobile applications. The U+1D70 character can be utilized to express subtle distinctions in pronunciation or orthography across different languages and dialects. While its usage might not be widespread due to the limited number of languages employing it, this character reflects the richness and diversity of human language. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the U+1D70 character plays a minor role in the broader scheme of Unicode's mission to standardize text representation across different languages and platforms. However, for those who require its specific usage, it remains an essential tool for precise digital communication.
