Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯌ has the Unicode code point U+1BCC. 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+1BCC to binary:
00011011 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+1BCC, also known as BATAK LETTER SIMALUNGUN WA, is a character from the Batak Simalungun script, which belongs to the Unicode Standard. In digital text, it plays a vital role in accurately representing the Batak Simalungun language, a native language spoken by the Simalungun people of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This alphabet, consisting of 25 letters, was developed based on the Latin script and is used for the orthography of the Batak Simalungun language. U+1BCC contributes to the preservation of the linguistic heritage of the Batak Simalungun people and aids in effective communication among its speakers. The Unicode Standard ensures that such characters are correctly displayed, processed, and stored by computers, promoting digital inclusivity for minority languages like Batak Simalungun.
