Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯦ has the Unicode code point U+1BE6. 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+1BE6 to binary:
00011011 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+1BE6, known as the Batak Sign Tompi, holds significant importance within the Batak script, which is primarily used in the written language of the Batak people, an ethnic group predominantly found in Indonesia. This specific character serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the "tompi" sound, a phonetic element that forms part of various Batak dialects. The introduction of this character and other symbols from the Batak script into the Unicode Standard has enabled accurate digital representation of the language, fostering its preservation and promotion among both native speakers and those with an interest in cultural diversity. As a result, U+1BE6 contributes to the ongoing effort to ensure the survival and accessibility of the rich Batak linguistic heritage in the digital age.
