Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨔ has the Unicode code point U+1A14. 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+1A14 to binary:
00011010 00010100
. 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 10010100

Description
U+1A14 Buginese Letter Sa is a unique character within the Unicode standard, representing a specific letter of the Buginese alphabet. This script is primarily used in the Buginese language, which is spoken by the Bugis people predominantly found in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Its usage in digital text allows for accurate representation and communication of this language online. Despite its limited use outside of the Buginese linguistic context, U+1A14 holds significant cultural importance as it helps maintain and preserve the distinctiveness of the Buginese written tradition. Additionally, it contributes to the technical diversity found within the Unicode system by providing a character that accurately represents a specific element of non-Latin scripts.
