Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1B4F. 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+1B4F to binary:
00011011 01001111
. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+1B4F, known as the Balinese Inverted Carik Pareren, is a unique typographic symbol with specific cultural, linguistic, and technical significance. Primarily used in digital text related to the Balinese script, this character holds an essential role in the representation of traditional Balinese literature and written language. The Balinese Inverted Carik Pareren (BICP) is one among many special characters that are integral to the proper rendering of Balinese text. Its inverted form, U+1B4F, signifies a reversed version of the original Carik Pareren symbol (U+1B50). This particular character might be encountered less frequently due to its specialized use within the context of Balinese language and culture. However, it still contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of this unique script in digital communication platforms and text editing systems.
