Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨙ has the Unicode code point U+1A19. 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+1A19 to binary:
00011010 00011001
. 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 10011001

Description
U+1A19, also known as Buginese Vowel Sign E, is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard that primarily serves in digital text for representing vowels in the Buginese language. The Buginese language, spoken by the Bugis people in Indonesia, has a rich phonological and phonetic system that relies on unique script to accurately convey its nuances. In this context, U+1A19 plays a crucial role as it represents the distinct 'e' vowel sound in Buginese. Digital text encoding standards, such as Unicode, are designed to accommodate a wide range of languages and scripts from around the world, ensuring that characters like Buginese Vowel Sign E can be accurately represented in modern computing systems. By providing an accurate representation of these unique characters, Unicode contributes to the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
