Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴔ has the Unicode code point U+1D14. 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+1D14 to binary:
00011101 00010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+1D14 represents the "LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED OE". This typographical character is part of the Unicode 5.2 standard, which was released in 2008. It holds a significant role in digital text as it is used to represent a letter that is not found frequently in modern English or other popular languages. In older texts and historical documents, particularly those from the Germanic language family, the "Turned O" or "O with a stroke through the top bar" was used to depict the 'oe' sound. Although its usage has diminished over time, this character retains cultural importance in certain linguistic contexts where the distinction between 'o' and 'oe' is maintained, such as in Old Norse, Middle English, and some dialects of German. In terms of technicality, it provides a crucial element for accurate representation of historical texts and preserving their original forms in digital format.
