Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜬ has the Unicode code point U+172C. 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+172C to binary:
00010111 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+172C, known as Hanunoo Letter Ya, plays a significant role in digital text representation for the Hanunoo language. This language is spoken by the Hanunoo people of the Philippines, specifically those living in the provinces of Quezon and Bicol. In digital communication and documentation, this character enables accurate representation of the Hanunoo script, facilitating linguistic studies, preservation of cultural heritage, and effective communication among Hanunoo speakers. The Unicode Standard ensures that characters like U+172C are assigned a unique code point, allowing for the consistent encoding and decoding of text data across different platforms and applications. This enables a more inclusive digital landscape, accommodating various languages and scripts, thereby promoting cultural diversity and linguistic understanding in the global digital domain.
