Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19CA. 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+19CA to binary:
00011001 11001010. 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 10100111 10001010

Description
U+19CA is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard, representing an individual glyph with specific function in digital text. As a character outside of the standard Latin alphabet, it is often associated with specialized uses within particular cultural or linguistic contexts. In some scripts, such as the Inca Quipu system, U+19CA might serve as a symbol for a certain numerical value or represent a specific syllable in an indigenous language. Although its use may be limited due to its non-standard status, U+19CA plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity within digital text. It allows for the accurate representation of minority languages and scripts that might not otherwise have a place in the predominantly Latin-based Unicode system. Therefore, U+19CA serves as a testament to the extensive range of characters available in Unicode, ensuring that diverse cultural expressions and historical linguistic systems are accessible through digital communication.
