Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵞ has the Unicode code point U+1D5E. 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+1D5E to binary:
00011101 01011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+1D5E Modifier Letter Small Greek Gamma is a typographical character found within the Unicode standard. In digital text, it primarily serves as a modifier to alter the appearance of letters in specific linguistic contexts, particularly within the Greek alphabet. Although it may not be commonly used outside specialized fields or academic texts, its presence in Unicode demonstrates the comprehensive nature of the standard and its ability to accommodate diverse scripts and languages. The character does not hold any cultural or linguistic significance on its own but is an essential component for accurate representation of certain Greek text when combined with other characters. It's worth noting that U+1D5E, like all Unicode characters, can be used in combination with various modifiers to create unique combinations and glyphs, further expanding the expressive capabilities of digital text.
