Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦿ has the Unicode code point U+19BF. 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+19BF to binary:
00011001 10111111
. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+19BF, also known as the NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN UEY, is an essential element in digital text for representing the vowel sound "uey" in the New Tai Lue language. This script, spoken predominantly by the Tai Lue ethnic group in Southern China and parts of Southeast Asia, is part of the larger Kam-Tai branch of the Taishan languages. In its digital format, U+19BF contributes to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity by enabling accurate representation of the New Tai Lue script on electronic platforms. The use of this character in digital text allows for more precise communication, documentation, and research related to the language and culture of the Tai Lue people, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of their unique linguistic heritage.
