Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯑ has the Unicode code point U+1BD1. 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+1BD1 to binary:
00011011 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
U+1BD1 represents the Batak Letter Da in Unicode, a standardized encoding system for characters used in digital text. This letter is a crucial component of the Batak script, which primarily belongs to the Austronesian language family spoken by various ethnic groups residing in Southeast Asia, particularly in regions such as Indonesia and the Philippines. The Batak script comprises 21 distinct characters that are utilized in both written and spoken communication. U+1BD1 plays a vital role in preserving and promoting Batak linguistic heritage and cultural identity among its speakers. As digital technology continues to advance, characters like U+1BD1 are integral in ensuring the accurate representation and transmission of diverse languages, facilitating multilingualism and fostering global understanding and inclusivity.
