Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜴ has the Unicode code point U+1734. 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+1734 to binary:
00010111 00110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+1734 represents the Hanunoo Sign Pamudpod, a symbol from the indigenous Hanunoo script used by the Mangyan people in the Philippines. This script is primarily employed for writing the Hanunoo language, which belongs to the Austronesian family of languages and is predominantly spoken in the provinces of Oriental Mindoro and Palawan. In digital text, U+1734 typically serves as a visual representation of the Pamudpod character, preserving its cultural significance and linguistic function within the context of the Hanunoo language. The use of this character contributes to the preservation and promotion of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Mangyan people and other speakers of the Austronesian languages.
