Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴸ has the Unicode code point U+1D38. 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+1D38 to binary:
00011101 00111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+1D38 represents the Modifier Letter Capital L (ꞅ). This character is part of a set of letters designed to be used in conjunction with other characters to form accented or otherwise modified versions of those base characters. In digital text, U+1D38 is typically employed as a modifier for specific languages and alphabets that require its unique characteristics. For instance, it can be used to create the uppercase letter "L" with a dotless i (꞉) or the IPA symbol for the voiceless alveolar lateral fricative /ɬ/ in phonetics. While this character might not have significant cultural or linguistic context, it is an essential tool for typographers and linguists working with specific languages that utilize these unique letter modifications. U+1D38 ensures accurate representation of the intended sound or meaning, contributing to clear communication and understanding across different languages and alphabets.
