Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨖ has the Unicode code point U+1A16. 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+1A16 to binary:
00011010 00010110
. 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 10010110
BUGINESE LETTER HA·U+1A16

Description
The Unicode character U+1A16, or BUGINESE LETTER HA, plays a crucial role in the Buginese script, which is primarily used for the Buginese language spoken by the Bugis people in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. As an essential component of digital text, this character facilitates accurate representation and communication of the Buginese language in various applications, such as word processing software, websites, and mobile devices. The Unicode Consortium, responsible for encoding characters from different scripts across the world, assigned U+1A16 to ensure proper encoding and display of Buginese texts in diverse platforms. This character contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Bugis people through written communication.
