Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨕ has the Unicode code point U+1A15. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1A15 to binary:
00011010 00010101
. 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 10101000 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1A15 represents the Buginese letter 'A' (ALPHABET LATIN BUGINESE). It is primarily used in digital text to represent the initial consonant sound in the Buginese language, which is predominantly spoken by the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This character plays a vital role in maintaining cultural and linguistic identity within the Bugis community. The Buginese script is part of the larger Latin script family, sharing similarities with other scripts such as Javanese and Malay. Although U+1A15 may not be widely known outside of its specific cultural context, it serves a significant purpose in preserving the language and culture of the Bugis people.
