Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨁ has the Unicode code point U+1A01. 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+1A01 to binary:
00011010 00000001
. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1A01 represents the Buginese letter 'Ga'. Buginese is a language spoken by approximately 5 million people in Indonesia, primarily in the provinces of South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and Central Sulawesi. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Buginese language online and in software applications. U+1A01 is part of the 'Latin Extended-B' Unicode block, which includes characters specific to several non-Latin scripts used in languages spoken across Southeast Asia and Africa. The inclusion of this character and others like it in the Unicode Standard facilitates interoperability between different platforms, ensuring that digital text is accessible and legible for speakers of a wide range of languages.
