Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᬨ has the Unicode code point U+1B28. 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+1B28 to binary:
00011011 00101000. 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 10101100 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1B28 represents the Balinese letter "PA KAPAL" (Balinese: ᬪ), which is a part of the Balinese script. This script is primarily used to write the Balinese language, an Austronesian language spoken by millions in Bali and Lombok, Indonesia. In digital text, U+1B28 serves as a vital component for accurately representing the Balinese language in digital environments. While it may not be widely recognized outside of its cultural context, this character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Balinese people. The Balinese script is an abugida, which means that each symbol represents a consonant with an inherent vowel (a), and additional vowels are indicated by diacritics. U+1B28 specifically denotes the "PA" group of sounds, represented by the consonant ᬪ and the inherent vowel a. This character is essential for maintaining cultural authenticity in digital communication and media involving the Balinese language.
