Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯀ has the Unicode code point U+1BC0. 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+1BC0 to binary:
00011011 11000000. 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 10101111 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1BC0, known as BATAK LETTER A, plays a significant role in the representation of the Batak language, which is primarily spoken in Indonesia. This script, along with other Batak letters, allows for accurate digital text representation and facilitates communication among Batak speakers worldwide. Although the Batak alphabet is not widely used outside of the Batak-speaking regions, it holds immense cultural significance for the communities that rely on it for their linguistic expression. As a key component of the Batak script, U+1BC0 contributes to preserving and promoting the rich heritage and identity of these communities in the digital age.
