Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵐ has the Unicode code point U+1D50. 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+1D50 to binary:
00011101 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+1D50, also known as the Modifier Letter Small S with Hook, is a unique Unicode character that primarily serves typographical and orthographic purposes in digital text. This character is a lowercase version of the letter "S" with a distinctive hook at the bottom, resembling an open parenthesis. In various alphabets and writing systems, it functions as a modifier to adjust or alter the pronunciation of the preceding letters, often reflecting linguistic nuances or regional accents. Its usage is relatively rare compared to other Unicode characters, but it remains crucial in certain cultural and linguistic contexts, particularly in minority languages or specialized fields like phonetics, linguistics, and computational typography. By accurately representing this subtle distinction in pronunciation, U+1D50 contributes to the precise communication of language and meaning in digital texts across diverse cultures and communities.
