Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯗ has the Unicode code point U+1BD7. 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+1BD7 to binary:
00011011 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1BD7, also known as Batak Letter Northern Ta, is a unique typographical character within the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves its purpose in digital text by representing a specific phoneme or sound in the Batak language, a group of languages spoken mainly in the Indonesian province of North Sumatra and some parts of Malaysia. The Batak people encompass numerous ethnic groups, each with their own dialects and variations of the Batak language, including Simalungan, Anggaran, and Toba, among others. As a result, U+1BD7 plays an essential role in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural identity for these communities. In terms of its typographic representation, U+1BD7 is used to distinguish the Northern Ta sound from other sounds within the Batak language, aiding in the accurate transcription and translation of texts between speakers of different dialects. This character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard highlights the importance of acknowledging and preserving lesser-known languages and scripts, as they contribute to our understanding of global linguistic diversity. In the realm of digital text and communication, U+1BD7 allows for the representation of Batak language texts with accuracy and fidelity, which is crucial for the preservation of these unique linguistic traditions. By incorporating this character into various digital platforms and applications, users can engage in meaningful dialogue that respects and honors the cultural context and nuances of the Batak languages.
