Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴿ has the Unicode code point U+1D3F. 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+1D3F to binary:
00011101 00111111
. 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 10111111

Description
U+1D3F, the Modifier Letter Capital R, is a unique typographical character that holds significant importance in specific linguistic and technical contexts. In digital text, this character serves as a modifier to alter the appearance or behavior of letters within certain scripts, particularly in the Latin script used for multiple languages. Its primary function is to provide a means for combining marks with letters, enabling users to create special characters that might not be directly accessible through standard typing methods. This can enhance readability and facilitate communication in various cultural and linguistic scenarios where unique combinations of letters are essential. The Modifier Letter Capital R holds an important role in typography, as it contributes to the richness and diversity of written expression across different languages and scripts.
