Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၙ has the Unicode code point U+1059. 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+1059 to binary:
00010000 01011001. 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 10000001 10011001

Description
U+1059, also known as MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC LL, is a character within the Unicode Standard, which consists of a set of characters for representing text in digital formats across various languages worldwide. This specific character holds a significant role in Myanmar's language and writing system. In Myanmar (formerly Burma), this vowel sign represents the vocalic ll sound, further enriching the expressive capacity of the language. The Myanmar script, in which this character is used, is an abugida system, meaning it combines characteristics of both alphabetic and syllabary scripts. Here, each letter represents a consonant with an inherent vowel 'a', and vowels like U+1059, the MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC LL, are employed to modify the base consonants' inherent vowels. As the global use of digital texts continues to increase, characters like U+1059 serve a crucial role in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
