Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦫ has the Unicode code point U+19AB. 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+19AB to binary:
00011001 10101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+19AB, known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER LOW SUA, is a letter used in the Tai Lue script, which represents one of the many languages spoken by the Tai people in Southeast Asia. This specific character plays a crucial role in digital text representation for the Tai Lue language, enabling accurate communication and preservation of cultural heritage through written form. The Tai Lue script, like other scripts used by the Tai people, has been heavily influenced by Chinese writing systems. Therefore, U+19AB contributes to the linguistic diversity and cultural identity of the Tai Lue-speaking communities in countries such as Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and China. Its usage is primarily within these regions where the script is commonly employed for written communication, literature, and traditional arts.
