Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜨ has the Unicode code point U+1728. 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+1728 to binary:
00010111 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1728, known as "Hanunoo Letter Na," holds significance in the Hanunoo language, which is predominantly spoken by the Hanunoo people of the Philippines. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in accurately representing and preserving the linguistic identity of the speakers of this endangered language. The Hanunoo script is written from left to right, with each character or letter representing a syllable rather than individual consonants and vowels, as seen in other scripts like the Roman alphabet. This unique characteristic of the script is vital for maintaining the phonetic integrity and meaning of words when transcribing spoken Hanunoo language into written form using Unicode characters. The preservation of this cultural and linguistic heritage through accurate digital representation is crucial to ensure the continuity of the Hanunoo language and its associated cultural practices.
