Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦊ has the Unicode code point U+198A. 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+198A to binary:
00011001 10001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The character U+198A, known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER HIGH YA, is a typographical element within the Unicode Standard. This standard was created to accommodate the vast array of text characters used across different languages and scripts worldwide. In digital text, U+198A serves as a component of written communication in Tai Lue, an ethnic group in Southeast Asia. As a part of the Tai Lue script, it represents the consonant-vowel structure common to many non-Latin writing systems. Within this context, U+198A specifically denotes the phoneme /ja:/ or /jɛ:/, providing important linguistic information for speakers and students of the Tai Lue language. The character contributes to the cultural richness of digital text by supporting the preservation and evolution of the spoken and written form of this unique language.
