Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵒ has the Unicode code point U+1D52. 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+1D52 to binary:
00011101 01010010. 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 10010010

Description
The character U+1D52, also known as the Modifier Letter Small O, holds a pivotal role in digital typography. It primarily serves to create ligatures or diacritics in certain alphabets, such as Latin-based scripts. Its primary function is to modify the base character it's appended to, altering its form, sound, or meaning. The Modifier Letter Small O doesn't have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context by itself; however, when combined with other Unicode characters, it can contribute to a unique representation in languages that use such modifiers. In terms of digital text usage, the Modifier Letter Small O is not commonly used outside specialized applications due to its limited compatibility across different platforms and fonts. It's important to note that for accurate reproduction, a font specifically designed to include this character and its combinations is required.
