Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯫ has the Unicode code point U+1BEB. 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+1BEB to binary:
00011011 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+1BEB, the Batak Vowel Sign Karo I, is a character that plays a significant role in the Batak script, which is used to represent the languages spoken by the Batak people primarily residing in North Sumatra, Indonesia. In digital text, this Unicode character is employed to denote the vowel 'a' when preceded by certain consonants in the Batak language. As a crucial component of the alphabet, it contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of the Batak linguistic heritage in written form. The Batak script has both historical and cultural significance as it is derived from the Javanese script and has been in use since the 19th century, reflecting the rich history and identity of the Batak people.
