Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᴲ has the Unicode code point U+1D32. 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+1D32 to binary:
00011101 00110010
. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1D32, known as the Modifier Letter Capital Reversed E (ↂ), is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for its specific role within the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It serves as a diacritic modifier to alter the pronunciation of a preceding consonant, indicating that it should be pronounced with an ejective release. In linguistic and phonetic contexts, this character is essential for accurate transcription and representation of spoken language, particularly for those working in fields such as linguistics, foreign languages, speech therapy, or translation. Although its usage may be somewhat niche, the Modifier Letter Capital Reversed E plays a crucial role in ensuring precise communication and understanding within these disciplines.
