Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜢ has the Unicode code point U+1722. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1722 to binary:
00010111 00100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+1722 represents the "Hanunoo Letter U," which is a unique symbol in the Hanunoo script, used by the indigenous Hanunoo people of the Philippines. This letter holds significant cultural importance as it forms part of an ancient and lesser-known writing system. The Hanunoo script is composed of 15 consonants and 6 vowels, with U+1722 specifically falling under the category of consonants. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in preserving and conveying the linguistic heritage of the Hanunoo people. The use of U+1722 contributes to the overall accuracy and authenticity of texts written in the Hanunoo script, allowing for the continuation of this unique language despite potential language shift or assimilation.
