Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᬾ has the Unicode code point U+1B3E. 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+1B3E to binary:
00011011 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1B3E, known as the Balinese Vowel Sign Taling, is a crucial element of the Balinese script. It serves as a diacritical mark that alters the pronunciation of consonants in the Balinese language. In digital text, this character is used to maintain the integrity and accuracy of written Balinese, preserving its unique linguistic features. The Balinese Vowel Sign Taling is part of the Indic script family, which includes several other scripts such as Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, and Bengali. Despite being relatively less known in comparison to these well-established scripts, U+1B3E plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the rich Balinese culture and linguistic heritage. Its significance lies not only in its technical function but also in its contribution to the continued use of the Balinese script, which is an essential aspect of the cultural identity of the Balinese people.
