Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᬲ has the Unicode code point U+1B32. 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+1B32 to binary:
00011011 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1B32 is a Unicode character representing the Balinese letter "Sa." This character holds significance primarily within the Balinese language, which is part of the Austronesian family of languages spoken in Bali, Indonesia. In digital text, its typical usage is to represent the phoneme /s/, which is a voiceless alveolar fricative sound found in several words and phrases across the Balinese lexicon. The character does not have a direct equivalent in Latin script, but it plays an essential role in accurately transcribing and representing Balinese language text for both native speakers and linguists alike. U+1B32 is an important technical component that helps maintain the integrity of Balinese culture and its unique written form within the realm of digital communication and text processing systems.
