Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦩ has the Unicode code point U+19A9. 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+19A9 to binary:
00011001 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+19A9, also known as NEW TAI LUE LETTER LOW XVA, is a special character used primarily in digital text for the representation of specific phonetic sounds in the Tai Lue language, which is predominantly spoken by the Tai Lue ethnic group in Southeast Asia. This unique character is essential in maintaining linguistic accuracy and authenticity within written Tai Lue texts, as it serves to distinguish particular phonemes that may not have direct equivalents in other languages or writing systems. The use of U+19A9 contributes to the preservation of the rich cultural heritage of the Tai Lue people, facilitating the communication and understanding of their unique linguistic identity within digital platforms and contexts.
