Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵓ has the Unicode code point U+1D53. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1D53 to binary:
00011101 01010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1D53, known as MODIFIER LETTER SMALL OPEN O, is a unique typographic symbol that holds significance in digital text for its specific role within certain linguistic or technical contexts. It is classified under the "Modifier Letters" category of the Unicode Standard and has been designed to serve as an alphabetic modifier, typically used in conjunction with other characters. In this capacity, it assists in conveying specific phonological or orthographic nuances that might not be possible with standard Latin script alone. While U+1D53 may appear relatively obscure, its use is highly specialized and context-dependent. One of the primary areas where this character finds application is in the representation of certain African languages, particularly those belonging to the Bantu language family. Here, it helps render the phonological distinctions necessary for accurate transcription and comprehension. Its importance lies not just in its ability to modify other characters, but also in promoting a more inclusive representation of linguistic diversity in digital text. In the realm of technical contexts, U+1D53 may be employed as part of a specialized encoding system or algorithm for processing specific types of data. The character's presence within such systems further underscores its utility and relevance in the broader scope of digital communication. Overall, U+1D53, MODIFIER LETTER SMALL OPEN O, is a vital component within digital text, contributing to the accurate representation and processing of linguistic and technical information. Its role in promoting inclusivity and diversity is a testament to the power of Unicode in facilitating global communication.
