Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯪ has the Unicode code point U+1BEA. 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+1BEA to binary:
00011011 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+1BEA is known as the Batak Vowel Sign I. It plays a vital role in digital text representation by representing a distinct vowel sound found exclusively in the Batak languages, which are spoken predominantly in Indonesia, particularly in North Sumatra and West Sumatra provinces. The character serves to differentiate between various vowels in these languages, enabling accurate pronunciation and interpretation of words. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1BEA allows for consistent encoding and display across digital platforms, thereby preserving the linguistic integrity of Batak languages in the era of global communication. By accurately representing this unique aspect of Batak vowel sounds, U+1BEA contributes to maintaining cultural heritage and fostering understanding between different language communities.
