Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴬ has the Unicode code point U+1D2C. 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+1D2C to binary:
00011101 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+1D2C is the Unicode code point for the Modifier Letter Capital A (MLCA), a typographical character primarily used in digital text to represent an uppercase 'A' with an acute accent. This special character is found within the Latin Extended-C block of the Unicode Standard, which contains characters from various non-Latin scripts and symbols not included in other blocks. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the MLCA serves as a modifier to indicate specific pronunciation or phonetic characteristics in certain languages. The use of the Modifier Letter Capital A is particularly significant in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for representing various languages' sounds. It is applied to indicate the presence of an acute accent on the following letter, which may alter its pronunciation. In technical applications, such as software development and digital typography, the MLCA helps ensure accuracy and clarity in the representation of specific linguistic features within text, contributing to the precise communication of language and sound through written form.
