Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴖ has the Unicode code point U+1D16. 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+1D16 to binary:
00011101 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1D16 is known as the "LATIN SMALL LETTER TOP HALF O". This character holds significant importance in typography due to its unique positioning within the Unicode system. It serves as a key component in the creation of digital text, specifically as part of an extended Latin alphabet that includes letters beyond those found in the standard English alphabet. In terms of linguistic context, U+1D16 is used primarily for the orthography of certain non-English languages, such as some regional dialects or minority languages, where it may represent a distinct phoneme or grapheme not present in other alphabets. This allows for more accurate transcription and representation of these languages in digital text, facilitating better communication and preservation of linguistic diversity. From a technical standpoint, the inclusion of U+1D16 and similar characters in Unicode demonstrates the system's commitment to comprehensive global text support. By providing a unique code point for every possible character, Unicode enables accurate encoding and display of text across a wide range of languages, scripts, and dialects, thus fostering greater connectivity and understanding among diverse cultures and communities. In conclusion, the Unicode character U+1D16, or LATIN SMALL LETTER TOP HALF O, plays a critical role in digital typography by representing a unique letter within certain languages' alphabets. Its presence in Unicode showcases the system's commitment to supporting linguistic diversity and facilitating global communication through accurate digital text representation.
