Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴉ has the Unicode code point U+1D09. 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+1D09 to binary:
00011101 00001001
. 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 10001001

Description
U+1D09 is a Latin small letter turned I (ẖ) character in the Unicode standard, which plays an essential role in digital text representation, particularly for languages that require unique alphabetic characters. This character's form resembles a lowercase "i" with a distinctive hook or tail on its right side, turning it slightly to the left. Although not commonly used in English, U+1D09 finds significance in specific cultural and linguistic contexts, such as in the construction of unique scripts for certain languages or as an alternative glyph in typography designs for creative or artistic purposes. Its accurate digital representation ensures seamless communication across various platforms and applications, contributing to the richness and diversity of written expression worldwide.
