Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦱ has the Unicode code point U+19B1. 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+19B1 to binary:
00011001 10110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+19B1, also known as the NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN AA, is a specialized character used primarily in digital text for representing the "aa" vowel sound in the Tai Lue language. The Tai Lue language, spoken predominantly by the Tai Lue ethnic group in mainland Southeast Asia, particularly in Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar, has its own unique writing system called the Tai Lue script. U+19B1 serves an essential role in this script as it helps to accurately transcribe and convey the distinct phonological features of the language. As a Unicode character, U+19B1 is part of a standardized encoding system that supports a wide range of characters from different languages and scripts worldwide. This allows for more accurate communication and representation of various cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts across diverse digital platforms. In summary, U+19B1, the NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN AA, plays a crucial role in the Tai Lue writing system by accurately representing the "aa" vowel sound, contributing to preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Tai Lue people. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates better cross-cultural communication and understanding within the global digital landscape.
