Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯩ has the Unicode code point U+1BE9. 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+1BE9 to binary:
00011011 11101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1BE9, known as the Batak Vowel Sign EE, is a crucial element in the Batak language, which is predominantly spoken in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This character plays a vital role in digital text by accurately representing the vowel sound 'ee' in Batak writing system. The Batak script, like other abugidas, relies on a base character that carries the primary consonantal meaning and the specific vowel sign modifies the inherent sound of the base letter. In the context of digital communication and text processing, the Unicode standard ensures consistency in encoding and representation of characters across different platforms and devices, thus preserving the linguistic integrity of Batak language. The use of U+1BE9 helps maintain cultural diversity and facilitates understanding and learning of the Batak language beyond its native region.
