Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨞ has the Unicode code point U+1A1E. 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+1A1E to binary:
00011010 00011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1A1E, known as BUGINESE PALLAWA, plays a significant role in the Buginese language's digital text. It is an essential component of this South Sulawesi indigenous language spoken by millions in Indonesia. In linguistic context, Buginese is part of the Austronesian family, with rich morphology and syntactic features. The Pallawa script has been widely used to represent the Buginese language since its development in the 19th century. U+1A1E contributes to preserving this unique cultural heritage by enabling accurate digital representation of the language. In terms of technical context, Unicode's support for U+1A1E and other special characters allows for seamless text exchange between different devices and platforms, facilitating global communication and understanding.
