Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦗ has the Unicode code point U+1997. 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+1997 to binary:
00011001 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1997, also known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER LOW PA, is a unique character from the Unicode Standard, which is used for encoding text in digital formats. In its typical usage, this character serves as part of the Tai Leu script, an ancient writing system originating from Southeast Asia, specifically the Tai Leu ethnic group residing in China's Yunnan Province. The Tai Lue script was developed to write down the Tai Leu language, which belongs to the Tai-Kadai family of languages. U+1997 is a specific letter called "Low PA," and it plays a crucial role in this script, representing a distinct phoneme or sound in the Tai Leu language. Due to its rarity and specialization within a particular linguistic context, the character U+1997 does not have extensive usage or widespread recognition beyond those familiar with the Tai Lue language and culture. However, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this unique element of Southeast Asian cultural heritage is preserved and accessible for digital communication and preservation.
