Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴒ has the Unicode code point U+1D12. 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+1D12 to binary:
00011101 00010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1D12, also known as "LATIN SMALL LETTER SIDEWAYS OPEN O," is a unique typographical symbol in the digital text world. It serves as an alternative representation of the lowercase letter 'o,' but with a distinctive sideways orientation. This character is particularly used in certain coding systems, programming languages, or digital communication platforms where unique or specific typography styles are required for particular applications. In terms of cultural and linguistic contexts, this character does not have any significant use. It has been developed mainly from a technical perspective, to enhance the variety of characters available for digital text representation. This allows users and developers greater flexibility in creating diverse typographical designs that cater to different needs or preferences. It's important to note that while U+1D12 is an established Unicode character, its usage is relatively rare due to its specialty status, making it more of a niche symbol rather than a common one seen in everyday digital text. In general usage, it might be observed in code samples, programming manuals or digital typography studies where a wider array of characters are examined and explored.
