Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯒ has the Unicode code point U+1BD2. 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+1BD2 to binary:
00011011 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+1BD2, also known as Batak Letter Ra, is a significant character in the Batak language's alphabet. This language is primarily spoken in regions of Indonesia, particularly by the Batak people. Its role in digital text predominantly revolves around representing this unique linguistic element to maintain authenticity and cultural context when using or transmitting Batak-language content. As a vital part of a lesser-known script, it plays an essential role in ensuring the accurate representation and preservation of the Batak language's rich oral and written heritage. Despite being less widespread compared to other global scripts, its usage within linguistic, cultural, and anthropological studies underlines its substantial value for researchers who aim to decipher or comprehend this unique aspect of regional identity.
