Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴯ has the Unicode code point U+1D2F. 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+1D2F to binary:
00011101 00101111
. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+1D2F, known as the Modifier Letter Capital Barred B, is a typographical symbol that serves a specific purpose in digital text. It is primarily used in conjunction with other characters to create diacritic marks or accentuations, such as a bar above a letter, indicating a particular phonetic or grammatical distinction. In some languages, these diacritics are crucial for accurate communication and meaning. While this character may not be widely utilized due to its relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard (it was added in 2013 with version 7.0), it has the potential to become increasingly important as more languages and scripts are incorporated into digital text systems.
