Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᭭ has the Unicode code point U+1B6D. 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+1B6D to binary:
00011011 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+1B6D, known as the Balinese Musical Symbol Combining Kempul, is a specialized typographical character primarily used within digital texts in the realm of Balinese music notation. It is employed to indicate the presence of the musical element "Kempul" in compositions and performances. The Kempul is an integral component of traditional Balinese Gamelan music, characterized by its distinct metallic sound and significance in creating complex rhythm patterns. In a digital context, U+1B6D serves to accurately represent this important aspect of the musical notation system, thus maintaining the cultural integrity and linguistic nuance of Balinese compositions in the digital world. This Unicode character contributes to preserving the rich heritage of Balinese music for future generations while also enabling a more inclusive and diverse representation of global musical practices in digital text formats.
