Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵠ has the Unicode code point U+1D60. 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+1D60 to binary:
00011101 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1D60, known as the Modifier Letter Small Greek Phi (ϡ), is a typographical element used in digital text to represent a specific modifier letter within the Greek alphabet. Its primary role is to serve as a phonetic symbol in various linguistic contexts, particularly in languages that employ the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for accurate representation of speech sounds. In this capacity, U+1D60 can be used alongside other IPA symbols to transcribe and differentiate distinct pronunciations within a given language. The character is based on the Greek letter phi (φ), which has been adapted and modified to fulfill its specific function within the phonetic alphabet. Although it may not carry significant cultural weight, U+1D60 remains an important tool for linguists, language learners, and speakers wishing to accurately convey pronunciation through digital text.
