Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯖ has the Unicode code point U+1BD6. 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+1BD6 to binary:
00011011 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1BD6, also known as BATAK LETTER SOUTHERN TA, is a unique character within the Unicode standard (U+0000 to U+FFFF). It primarily serves as a representation of the Southern Batak language, a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in Indonesia. In digital text, this character allows users and developers to accurately convey information about the Southern Batak culture and its linguistic features. BATAK LETTER SOUTHERN TA is part of a larger group of Batak letters, each representing distinct phonetic sounds within the Southern Batak language. Its presence in digital text not only helps maintain cultural heritage but also facilitates communication among native speakers and those learning the language. As with other Unicode characters, U+1BD6's role is crucial for maintaining linguistic accuracy and preventing misinterpretation of text in digital contexts.
