Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨏ has the Unicode code point U+1A0F. 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+1A0F to binary:
00011010 00001111
. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+1A0F, known as Buginese Letter Nyca, holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography, particularly for those working with the Buginese language. This letter is part of the Buginese script, an abugida writing system predominantly used to transcribe the Buginese language spoken by millions in Indonesia, specifically in South Sulawesi and West Sulawesi provinces. U+1A0F plays a crucial role in digital text representation by enabling accurate and authentic transmission of written Buginese content across various platforms and devices. Although U+1A0F might not be as universally recognized or prevalent in global communication, it holds great importance within its cultural and linguistic context. The Buginese script has been used for over 500 years, reflecting a rich and storied history that intertwines with the cultural heritage of the people who speak this language. As digital communication continues to expand and diversify, the use of Unicode characters like U+1A0F becomes increasingly important in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity across the globe. From a technical standpoint, the Buginese script, including its letter U+1A0F, is encoded using the Unicode Standard, ensuring interoperability and compatibility across different software applications and operating systems. This standardized encoding allows for a consistent representation of text content, enabling users and developers to create digital resources that cater to diverse linguistic communities without compromising on accuracy or quality.
