Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᬶ has the Unicode code point U+1B36. 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+1B36 to binary:
00011011 00110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1B36, known as the Balinese Vowel Sign Ulu, plays a significant role in digital text representation for the Balinese language. It is an essential component of the Balinese script, which is derived from the Javanese script. In this script, each vowel sign is combined with a consonant to form a complete syllable. The Balinese Vowel Sign Ulu specifically denotes the "u" vowel sound. Its usage and importance lie within the cultural and linguistic context of the Balinese people, who predominantly reside in Bali, Indonesia. The character contributes to maintaining the richness and diversity of this language by accurately representing its phonetic characteristics and facilitating clear communication among speakers.
