Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴴ has the Unicode code point U+1D34. 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+1D34 to binary:
00011101 00110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+1D34, the Modifier Letter Capital H, is a typographical character primarily used to denote phonetic or orthographic distinctions in digital text. This Unicode character allows writers to represent specific sounds or variations of a letter that may not be available through standard Latin alphabet characters. It plays a crucial role in linguistic and technical contexts where precise pronunciation or distinct phonetic features are required for accurate communication. The Modifier Letter Capital H is commonly utilized in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to signify unique pronunciations of consonants or vowels. This Unicode character enhances the clarity and effectiveness of written language, enabling users to create more accurate transcriptions of speech sounds across various languages and dialects. Additionally, it serves as a valuable tool for linguists, phoneticians, and researchers in fields such as phonology, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics, where precise sound representation is essential.
