Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴵ has the Unicode code point U+1D35. 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+1D35 to binary:
00011101 00110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1D35, known as the "MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL I" (Ⅱ), serves a specialized role in digital text. It is classified under the "Letter-like Symbols" category in Unicode, which encompasses characters that function similarly to letters but do not represent any specific language. The MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL I is designed to be used with other characters or symbols as a modifier, usually to indicate a change in the pronunciation or tone of the base character it accompanies. In this capacity, it has been utilized predominantly within International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions and similar phonetic notation systems, where its use assists readers in understanding the intended pronunciation of words and phrases. Though it may not be widely used in everyday text, the MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL I plays an important role in specialized fields such as linguistics, phonetics, and translation, ensuring accurate communication of spoken language through written form.
