Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯓ has the Unicode code point U+1BD3. 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+1BD3 to binary:
00011011 11010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1BD3 represents the BATAK LETTER SIMALUNGUN RA (𝕃), a script specific to the Batak Simalungun language, which is predominantly spoken in North Sumatra province of Indonesia. In digital text, it plays a significant role as part of this unique writing system that has been used by the indigenous Batak community for centuries. The BATAK LETTER SIMALUNGUN RA contributes to the cultural and linguistic diversity present in the region and globally. It is also noteworthy for its technical context, as it is part of the first script in Unicode that has been developed by an indigenous community themselves.
