Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜪ has the Unicode code point U+172A. 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+172A to binary:
00010111 00101010. 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 10011100 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+172A, known as HANUNOO LETTER BA, is an essential component of the Hanunoo script, a lesser-known writing system used primarily in the Philippines. This particular character plays a crucial role in digital text representation by providing accurate typographical reproduction of traditional Hanunoo letters. The Hanunoo script, which belongs to the larger Austronesian language family, has been experiencing resurgence in recent years as efforts are being made to preserve and promote indigenous languages and cultures. U+172A's inclusion in Unicode, a computing industry standard for encoding characters, ensures that digital texts can accurately represent the Hanunoo script, facilitating its use in applications such as word processors, websites, and mobile applications. This character contributes to the preservation of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, promoting understanding and appreciation of the unique history and traditions associated with the Hanunoo people.
