Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝍ has the Unicode code point U+174D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+174D to binary:
00010111 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+174D, also known as BUHID LETTER RA, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, playing an essential role in digital text representation. It belongs to the Buhid script, which has its roots in the Buhid ethnic group from the Philippines. The Buhid script was primarily used for writing Buhid language before the introduction of Romanized Tagalog. In a digital context, U+174D contributes to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Buhid people by enabling the accurate representation of their language in textual communication. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is crucial to recognize the significance of this character and others within the Buhid script for the documentation, revitalization, and understanding of less-studied languages and cultures.
