Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯏ has the Unicode code point U+1BCF. 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+1BCF to binary:
00011011 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+1BCF, also known as BATAK LETTER SIMALUNGUN GA, is a unique typographical character found in the Unicode Standard. It plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific letter from the Batak Simalungun alphabet, which is part of the larger Austronesian language family. This alphabet comprises 16 letters, and U+1BCF represents one of those distinct characters, contributing to the rich cultural heritage of the Batak Simalungun-speaking communities in Indonesia. The inclusion of such specialized Unicode characters enhances the representation of linguistic diversity, allowing for more accurate digital text communication and facilitating research in linguistics and anthropology.
