Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᬰ has the Unicode code point U+1B30. 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+1B30 to binary:
00011011 00110000
. 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 10110000

Description
U+1B30, known as Balinese Letter Sa Saga, plays a significant role in the Balinese language, which is primarily spoken in Bali, Indonesia. This character is an essential element of the Balinese script, a writing system that employs a combination of symbols and letters derived from several scripts, including the ancient Javanese script and the modern Latin alphabet. The Balinese script is used to transcribe the phonological characteristics of the Balinese language effectively. In digital text, U+1B30, the Balinese Letter Sa Saga, represents a specific sound or phoneme in the Balinese language, contributing to the proper pronunciation and comprehension of written texts. The character is integral to preserving and promoting Balinese culture and literature through digital platforms. However, its usage might be limited due to the script's relatively niche status compared to other writing systems like the Latin or Arabic scripts. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1B30 ensures consistent encoding and representation across various digital platforms, enabling seamless communication and collaboration for individuals who work with or are interested in the Balinese language. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard highlights the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and fostering cross-cultural understanding through technology.
