Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨀ has the Unicode code point U+1A00. 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+1A00 to binary:
00011010 00000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1A00, known as the Buginese Letter Ka (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K), holds a significant role in digital text representation, specifically for the Buginese language. This script is predominantly utilized in the transcription of the Buginese language, which is predominantly spoken by the Bugis people residing in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The character is part of the Latin Extended-B set of Unicode characters, which were created to expand the representation of various languages and scripts that utilize the Latin alphabet. This includes additional letters for specific regional languages, allowing for more accurate and diverse textual transcriptions. In a digital context, U+1A00 is often used in software applications, websites, and documents that cater to the cultural and linguistic needs of the Buginese-speaking community. By accurately representing the unique sounds and phonetics of the Buginese language, this character contributes to the preservation and promotion of this culturally significant script.
