Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝉ has the Unicode code point U+1749. 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+1749 to binary:
00010111 01001001
. 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 10011101 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1749 represents the "BUHID LETTER PA" in digital text. This letter is used primarily within the Buhid script, which is an abugida writing system employed for the Buhid language. Abugidas are a family of writing systems that use a base consonant with inherent vowels and diacritics to indicate changes in pronunciation. U+1749 serves as a fundamental building block for creating various words and phrases within the Buhid language, which is predominantly spoken in some parts of the Philippines. While it may not be widely used in global communication due to its linguistic specificity, U+1749 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the people who speak the Buhid language.
