Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᵛ has the Unicode code point U+1D5B. 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+1D5B to binary:
00011101 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1D5B, known as the "MODIFIER LETTER SMALL V", holds a significant position in digital typography. This character is often employed in conjunction with other letters to form accented characters or diacritics. For instance, when combined with a letter 'V', it forms the lowercase 'v' with a small upward-pointing vertical line on its top, which can be used for creating new glyphs in specific typographic or cultural settings. This modifier character offers flexibility and versatility to digital text by enabling users to generate various unique characters, thereby enhancing the range of expressible symbols. Its role is not limited to any specific language or script but serves as a tool for typographers and designers working with Unicode text. While it may seem like a minor detail in the vast spectrum of Unicode characters, the MODIFIER LETTER SMALL V plays a crucial part in enabling diversity and creativity in digital typeface design.
