Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᭆ has the Unicode code point U+1B46. 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+1B46 to binary:
00011011 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+1B46 is the Unicode character code for Balinese Letter Khot Sasak, a letter used in the Balinese and Sundanese scripts. In digital text, it serves as a key component of these scripts, enabling accurate representation of the native languages spoken by millions of people in Indonesia. The Balinese script is an abugida system, with each character representing a consonant-vowel cluster, while the Sundanese script is a Latin alphabet-based abugida system. Both scripts are part of the larger family of Malayo-Polynesian languages, spoken by diverse communities in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. The precise usage of U+1B46 depends on the particular language and context it is used in, but its role is crucial for maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural identity in digital communication and information storage.
