Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵄ has the Unicode code point U+1D44. 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+1D44 to binary:
00011101 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+1D44 is the Unicode character code for the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL TURNED A." It is a typographical symbol commonly employed in digital text to modify other characters, particularly in linguistic or cultural contexts where its usage is prevalent. Although it may appear as a small letter 'a' that has been turned 90 degrees counterclockwise (270 degrees), its primary purpose lies in the realm of orthography and not as a decorative element. This character can be used to transform certain letters, such as "A," into their uppercase counterparts with an inverted appearance, offering authors and designers more flexibility when working on specialized projects that demand unique letterforms or scripts. In summation, U+1D44 plays a vital role in digital text by enabling users to create specific linguistic styles and visual effects.
