Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦐ has the Unicode code point U+1990. 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+1990 to binary:
00011001 10010000. 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 10100110 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1990, known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER HIGH NA, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography. This character is predominantly used within the Taiwanese Hakka language, specifically in the New Tai Lue dialect. It serves as an integral component in conveying distinct phonetic and linguistic nuances that are unique to this particular linguistic group. The inclusion of U+1990 in digital text aids in preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Taiwanese Hakka people, providing a means for them to express their language authentically within digital platforms. This is particularly important as it allows for the documentation and propagation of New Tai Lue, a dialect that has been historically underserved by standardized text encoding systems. In terms of technical context, U+1990's role lies in its ability to correctly encode and display a character essential to the structure and comprehension of New Tai Lue texts within digital environments. This precise representation is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the language in both written and digital forms, ensuring that future generations can continue to engage with this vital aspect of their cultural identity.
