Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵈ has the Unicode code point U+1D48. 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+1D48 to binary:
00011101 01001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1D48 represents the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL D." This character is primarily used to modify other letters in digital text, often for specific linguistic or typographic purposes. It is a versatile glyph that can be employed across various scripts and languages. However, it is important to note that its usage is relatively limited due to the unique nature of its role. As with many Unicode modifier characters, U+1D48 may not have a strong cultural or linguistic context, but it serves an essential technical function in enabling precise control over text formatting and presentation.
