Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦥ has the Unicode code point U+19A5. 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+19A5 to binary:
00011001 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+19A5, also known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER LOW BA, is a typographical character primarily used in the digital text representation of the Tai Lue language. The Tai Lue language belongs to the Tai-Kadai linguistic family and is predominantly spoken by the Tai Lue ethnic group in Laos, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries. This specific Unicode character has a critical role in preserving and promoting the unique orthography of the Tai Lue script. The New Tai Lue script was developed in the 1950s to modernize the traditional Tai Lue writing system, which dates back centuries. In digital text, U+19A5 serves as an essential tool for accurate representation and communication of the Tai Lue language, enabling better documentation, research, and preservation of this rich cultural heritage.
