Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯎ has the Unicode code point U+1BCE. 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+1BCE to binary:
00011011 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+1BCE, known as BATAK LETTER GA, is a typographical element predominantly utilized within the digital realm of text. Its primary function is to represent a distinct letter in the Batak script, which is employed in written communication for several ethnic groups in Indonesia, most notably the Batak people. This alphabet plays a crucial role in preserving and perpetuating their linguistic and cultural heritage. While not as widely used as other scripts globally, U+1BCE holds immense significance within specific linguistic contexts, reflecting the rich diversity of written languages that encompass the Unicode Standard.
