Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧃ has the Unicode code point U+19C3. 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+19C3 to binary:
00011001 11000011
. 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 10000011

Description
U+19C3 is a character in the Unicode standard, representing the New Tai Lue letter "Final N". This script is primarily used for writing the Tai Lue language, spoken by around 200,000 people, mostly in China's Yunnan province. The Tai Lue language belongs to the Tai-Kadai linguistic family and its script incorporates a unique combination of syllabary and abugida characteristics. U+19C3 holds significance as it is part of a comprehensive set of characters enabling accurate representation of the Tai Lue language in digital text. The use of these characters facilitates efficient communication, documentation, and archiving for speakers of this endangered language. Furthermore, the inclusion of such specialized scripts within Unicode aids in preserving linguistic diversity and promoting cultural understanding globally.
