Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯬ has the Unicode code point U+1BEC. 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+1BEC to binary:
00011011 11101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+1BEC (BATAK VOWEL SIGN O) is a Unicode character primarily used in the Batak language, an Austronesian language spoken by the Batak people in North Sumatra, Indonesia. In digital text, this character serves as a vowel marker for the specific vowel sound "o". While the BATAK VOWEL SIGN O may not be widely recognized outside of its linguistic context, it plays an essential role in accurately representing the Batak language's phonetic and phonological features. This Unicode character is crucial for maintaining the integrity of digital texts written in the Batak language, as well as facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage among Batak speakers worldwide.
