Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨂ has the Unicode code point U+1A02. 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+1A02 to binary:
00011010 00000010
. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1A02, known as the Buginese Letter Nga (ហ), plays a crucial role in digital typography and text representation. This letter is an essential component of the Buginese script, which belongs to the Austronesian language family and is predominantly spoken in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. U+1A02 is employed to represent the consonant sound /ŋ/, a voiced velar nasal, in Buginese text, enabling accurate representation of the language's phonetic structure. The character's significance extends beyond typography, as it serves as an essential element for preserving and promoting the cultural identity and linguistic heritage of the Buginese people.
