Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᭐ has the Unicode code point U+1B50. 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+1B50 to binary:
00011011 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1B50, known as the Balinese Digit Zero, holds a unique position within the digital typographic realm. This character is specifically designed to represent the digit 'zero' in the Balinese script, which is used predominantly in Bali and East Java for writing the Balinese language. The Balinese script is an abugida system, where each consonant has an inherent vowel 'a'. In terms of typography, U+1B50 serves a significant role by fulfilling the need for a zero digit that can be seamlessly integrated into this unique script style. Its use is not only limited to Balinese language applications but can also serve as a valuable tool in various digital text systems, particularly those involving the documentation or study of non-Latin scripts and cultural contexts. Overall, U+1B50 plays an indispensable role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Balinese language and culture.
