Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character မ has the Unicode code point U+1019. 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+1019 to binary:
00010000 00011001
. 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 10000000 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+1019 represents the Myanmar letter 'Ma' (ွ), which is an essential component of the Myanmar script. This script, also known as the Burmese script, is primarily used for writing the Myanmar language, spoken by millions of people in Myanmar (Burma) and surrounding regions. In digital text, U+1019 serves as a crucial building block for accurately encoding and displaying written content in the Myanmar language. The Myanmar script is based on the Mon script, which has been used in various Southeast Asian countries since ancient times. The use of U+1019 reflects the ongoing efforts to preserve and promote the rich linguistic heritage of the region while enabling efficient communication and data exchange within a global digital environment.
