Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦋ has the Unicode code point U+198B. 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+198B to binary:
00011001 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+198B is a character in the Unicode standard representing NEW TAI LUE LETTER LOW TSA (᧐). It plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Tai Lue script, which is used primarily in the Southeast Asian countries of Laos and Thailand. As a part of the Tai Lue writing system, this character serves to represent the phoneme /tsa/, a crucial component in forming words and conveying meaning. The Tai Lue script, like other scripts in the Thai language family, has a rich history, with its origins dating back to the 14th century. U+198B contributes to preserving this cultural heritage by providing a consistent encoding method for the script's characters, thus facilitating their use and interpretation across various digital platforms.
