Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵑ has the Unicode code point U+1D51. 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+1D51 to binary:
00011101 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1D51 represents the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL ENG". It is primarily used in digital text to modify the preceding character, often in specialized linguistic or technical contexts. Although not a widely known symbol, its utility lies in its ability to change the properties of the immediately adjacent letter, such as altering its case, diacritic marks, or tone. This functionality can be crucial in certain languages or disciplines that rely on subtle variations in character forms for correct expression and understanding. However, given its specialized usage, it might not have a significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of specific niche applications. Overall, U+1D51 is an essential tool for precise typography and communication in certain fields, emphasizing the value of Unicode's comprehensive character set for global digital text representation.
