Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵷ has the Unicode code point U+1D77. 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+1D77 to binary:
00011101 01110111
. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+1D77 is the Latin small letter turned g (ḷ). It is a letter of the Latin script that is not commonly used in modern languages. Its primary role in digital text is to represent this specific glyph, which is visually distinct from the regular lowercase g due to its unique shape and orientation. The character is part of the Unicode Extended-B block, a range of characters intended for use in various writing systems that may not be widely supported by all digital devices or software. While U+1D77 does not have a significant cultural or linguistic context in popular languages today, it may still appear in typographical works, historical documents, or specialized literature that requires a diverse set of characters to convey meaning accurately.
