Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵅ has the Unicode code point U+1D45. 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+1D45 to binary:
00011101 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+1D45 is the Modifier Letter Small Alpha character, a rarely used Unicode glyph that serves as a typographical component for creating new alphabetic characters in digital text. Its primary role lies in the creation of special alphabets or extended character sets for various linguistic or technical applications. Though it is not widely utilized, the Modifier Letter Small Alpha has been employed in some niche areas such as phonetics transcription, where it is used to modify existing characters and adapt them to specific pronunciation systems. This Unicode character contributes to the diversity and flexibility of written language and remains an essential tool for typographers and linguists working with specialized alphabets or character sets.
