Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵀ has the Unicode code point U+1D40. 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+1D40 to binary:
00011101 01000000. 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 10110101 10000000

Description
U+1D40, known as the "MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL T," is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for its role as a modifier letter. It serves to alter or modify the appearance of certain characters when combined with other letters. Its most common usage is in creating ligatures, which are typographically joined-up pairs of characters that appear more aesthetically pleasing or historically accurate than separate, adjacent characters. The MODIFIER LETTER CAPITAL T can be paired with specific lowercase characters to create a visual effect that mimics historical or decorative typography styles in various typefaces. This character contributes significantly to the precision and versatility of typographic design in digital text, allowing for more nuanced and historically accurate rendering of certain letter combinations.
