Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᭖ has the Unicode code point U+1B56. 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+1B56 to binary:
00011011 01010110
. 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 10101101 10010110

Description
U+1B56, known as Balinese Digit Six, is a character primarily used in digital text for representing the numerical value of six within the Balinese script. This digit is an essential component of the Balinese numeral system, which is based on the indigenous Javanese numerals and has been in use since the 12th century. The Balinese script, consisting of around 40 characters including vowels and consonants, is mainly used for writing the Balinese language, spoken by millions of people in Bali, Indonesia. In addition to its role in written communication, U+1B56 has cultural significance as it reflects the unique numeral system and historical traditions of the Balinese people. This character is often employed in digital applications, such as software for typography and text encoding, to accurately represent Balinese numerical values and maintain linguistic integrity in digital texts.
