Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵌ has the Unicode code point U+1D4C. 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+1D4C to binary:
00011101 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+1D4C is a Unicode character, known as the Modifier Letter Small Turned Open E (MLE). Its primary use lies in typography, particularly in digital text applications that require specialized characters for specific purposes. The MLE has its roots in linguistic and technical contexts where unique character combinations are essential for proper representation and clarity of language. It is used to combine with certain letters to create ligatures or alter the form of a letter in specific instances, such as when using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or other phonetic transcription systems. By doing so, it helps achieve accurate phonetic representations that may not be possible with standard alphabetic characters alone. Although its usage is specialized, the MLE plays a crucial role in providing precise and clear communication within digital text for those who require it.
