Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵴ has the Unicode code point U+1D74. 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+1D74 to binary:
00011101 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+1D74, the Latin Small Letter S with Middle Tilde (𝛄), is a specialized character within the Unicode Standard that holds a unique role in digital typography. This typographic glyph deviates from the standard "s" letterform, featuring a vertical line through its middle, which distinguishes it from other lowercase 's' characters. The Latin Small Letter S with Middle Tilde is typically employed to represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound in certain languages, primarily in phonetic transcriptions or linguistic research. Its use is particularly prevalent in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), where it signifies the specific pronunciation of certain words and syllables. As a result, U+1D74 plays a vital role in facilitating accurate communication of language sounds across different cultures and languages through digital text.
