Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵚ has the Unicode code point U+1D5A. 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+1D5A to binary:
00011101 01011010
. 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 10011010

Description
U+1D5A, the Modifier Letter Small Turned M, is a typographical character within the Unicode Standard. It serves as a modifier for various purposes in digital text, often found in linguistic contexts that require diacritical marks or accents. This character, which appears visually similar to an "m" with its top-left corner slightly turned upward, holds no significant cultural associations but is technically vital for accurate representation of specific words or phrases in certain languages. Its primary role lies in modifying the appearance of adjacent letters to convey unique meanings or sounds, contributing to the richness and diversity of human language as expressed through typography.
