Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴹ has the Unicode code point U+1D39. 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+1D39 to binary:
00011101 00111001
. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+1D39 represents the Modifier Letter Capital M (MLEM), a typographical element used primarily in digital text for diacritic modification of letters. In specific linguistic contexts, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and various constructed languages like Esperanto, the MLEM is employed to alter the pronunciation or sound of a letter without changing its basic form. Its application allows for greater precision in phonetic representation, facilitating accurate transcription of speech sounds and promoting clear communication across different languages and dialects. Due to its specialized nature, the Modifier Letter Capital M is less frequently used than other Unicode characters but remains an essential tool for those working in linguistics, phonetics, and language creation.
