Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯡ has the Unicode code point U+1BE1. 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+1BE1 to binary:
00011011 11100001
. 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 10100001
BATAK LETTER CA·U+1BE1

Description
U+1BE1, or BATAK LETTER CA, is a character within the Batak script used to represent specific sounds in the Batak languages, which are spoken by various ethnic groups in Indonesia. This character plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of these distinct phonetic elements in the Batak languages. The Batak scripts have historical and cultural significance as they were developed during the colonial period and continue to be used today. These scripts contribute to linguistic diversity, promoting the preservation and documentation of indigenous languages in Indonesia. As with other Unicode characters, U+1BE1 contributes to the digital representation and accessibility of various languages, making it an important tool for language preservation, communication, and cultural understanding.
