Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴷ has the Unicode code point U+1D37. 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+1D37 to binary:
00011101 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+1D37, known as the "MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL K," is a specialized character in Unicode used to create uppercase k-based characters. In digital text, this character plays a significant role in supporting typography and linguistic features that are not easily achievable through standard ASCII encoding. Its use is predominantly seen in the creation of uppercase characters with k as the base letter. This character can be found within the Unicode block "Latin Extended-C." While the MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL K does not have a direct cultural or linguistic context, it serves an essential purpose in digital typography. It enables designers and developers to create custom alphabets and character sets, particularly for projects that require unique or specialized letter combinations. By combining this character with other Unicode letters, one can generate uppercase k-based characters that cater to specific design requirements or creative expressions. In summary, the U+1D37 MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL K is an indispensable character in digital typography, providing a means for creating uppercase k-based characters within Unicode. Its role is vital in supporting typographic and linguistic features that extend beyond the limitations of standard ASCII encoding, enabling designers and developers to create unique alphabets and character sets.
