Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵔ has the Unicode code point U+1D54. 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+1D54 to binary:
00011101 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The character U+1D54, known as the Modifier Letter Small Top Half O, is a typographical element found within the Unicode Standard. In digital text, this character is primarily employed for phonetic transcription purposes, particularly in linguistic fields such as phonology and phonetics. It serves to represent an open-mid position of articulation in speech sounds, specifically when combined with other letters that depict manner of articulation. While it may appear in various contexts within these specific disciplines, the Modifier Letter Small Top Half O holds a niche purpose rather than widespread utilization. Its role is confined to specialized areas of language study and does not carry notable cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond these fields.
