Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨇ has the Unicode code point U+1A07. 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+1A07 to binary:
00011010 00000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1A07 represents the Buginese letter "MPA". In the digital world, this character is used within the Buginese script to represent a specific phoneme in written form. Buginese is an Austronesian language predominantly spoken by the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is also used in some parts of Malaysia and Singapore where the Bugis community has settled. The letter "MPA" holds its own unique place within the script, contributing to the distinctive nature of the language. Although the character itself may not have an extensive use outside of the Buginese language, it plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage for the Bugis people. Its accurate representation in digital text ensures that the Buginese language can continue to thrive in our increasingly interconnected world.
