Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᯿ has the Unicode code point U+1BFF. 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+1BFF to binary:
00011011 11111111. 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 10101111 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+1BFF, also known as the Batak Symbol Bindu Pangolat, plays a significant role in digital typography for representing specific symbols within the Batak language family. This unique symbol is primarily used in written communication within these languages, including Batak Sasak, Toba Batak, and several other regional languages spoken in Indonesia and surrounding regions. Although its use may be limited to specific linguistic communities, it remains an essential component of digital text representation for speakers of these languages. In the context of Unicode, U+1BFF helps preserve cultural identity and facilitates effective communication among the Batak-speaking community by accurately encoding their distinct symbol set.
