Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧘ has the Unicode code point U+19D8. 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+19D8 to binary:
00011001 11011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The character U+19D8 represents the New Tai Lue digit eight in Unicode typography. This digit is widely used in digital texts to represent the numerical value of eight within the New Tai Lue numeral system, which is a part of the larger group of Tai scripts. These scripts are primarily used in the countries of Northern Thailand and Myanmar for various administrative, religious, and literary purposes. The inclusion of the New Tai Lue digit eight in Unicode ensures its compatibility across multiple platforms and devices, thereby promoting accurate representation and communication within digital contexts. This character plays a significant role in preserving and propagating the cultural heritage of the Tai Lue people, while also serving as a valuable tool for linguists and researchers studying the Tai scripts and their evolution.
