Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜩ has the Unicode code point U+1729. 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+1729 to binary:
00010111 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1729 is designated as "HANUNOO LETTER PA". This character plays a significant role in the digital text of the Hanunoo script, which represents the writing system used by the indigenous people of the Philippines. The Hanunoo script is an abugida, meaning it has a consonant-syllable structure that forms the basis for pronunciation in spoken language. Each character in this script, including U+1729, carries specific phonetic and syllabic properties to accurately convey meaning within the Hanunoo language. Therefore, U+1729 "HANUNOO LETTER PA" is not only crucial for encoding and displaying text in the Hanunoo script but also for preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Hanunoo people. As more digital platforms and applications adopt Unicode standards, characters like U+1729 become increasingly important in enabling global access to diverse languages and scripts, thereby fostering cross-cultural understanding and communication.
