Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜥ has the Unicode code point U+1725. 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+1725 to binary:
00010111 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1725 represents the HANUNOO LETTER NGA (𐩕). In digital text, this character is used to represent a consonant in the Hanunoo script, which is part of the broader family of Philippine scripts. The Hanunoo script was primarily utilized by the Hanunoo people of the Philippines, who are indigenous to the islands of Mindoro and Marinduque. This particular character has significant cultural and linguistic importance as it is essential in preserving the oral tradition and history of the Hanunoo people. The use of U+1725, along with other characters from the Hanunoo script, aids in transcribing and translating texts, songs, folklore, and other forms of cultural expression unique to this group. As more digital platforms and tools support Unicode characters, the preservation and promotion of diverse scripts and languages become increasingly accessible, contributing to the richness of global linguistic heritage.
