Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧄ has the Unicode code point U+19C4. 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+19C4 to binary:
00011001 11000100
. 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 10000100
NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL M·U+19C4

Description
The character U+19C4 represents the "NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL M" in Unicode, a widely used character encoding system that supports text representation for a vast array of languages and scripts. In digital text, this character is primarily used within the context of the Tai Leu script, an ancient writing system originating from southern China. The New Tai Lue script, which incorporates the use of vowel diacritics and final consonant marks like U+19C4, was developed as a phonetic and phonological orthography for the Tai Lue language, one of the many Tai languages spoken by millions of people in Southeast Asia. The character "NEW TAI LUE LETTER FINAL M" is specifically used to mark the final consonant "m" in words within the Tai Lue language, indicating a crucial linguistic feature that helps distinguish different words and meanings.
