Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨃ has the Unicode code point U+1A03. 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+1A03 to binary:
00011010 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+1A03, also known as Buginese Letter Ngka, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent an individual letter in the Buginese script. In digital text, it plays a critical role by enabling accurate representation of the Buginese language, which is predominantly spoken in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This character serves as a vital component for preserving and promoting cultural identity through its use in written communication. The Buginese script, which uses both vowels and consonants, has been historically handwritten but has now evolved into a standardized digital format, providing increased accessibility to speakers and enthusiasts of the language worldwide. U+1A03 contributes significantly to this process by ensuring precise encoding and display of Buginese texts in various digital applications and platforms.
