Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦼ has the Unicode code point U+19BC. 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+19BC to binary:
00011001 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+19BC is the Unicode character code for NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN UY (◌ᥙ), a typographical symbol used in digital text representation of the Tai languages, particularly those using the New Tai Lue script. This unique vowel sign represents the "u" or "ü" sound and plays a significant role in accurately transcribing and conveying phonetics within these linguistic contexts. The New Tai Lue script is an important part of the cultural heritage for various ethnic groups residing across Southeast Asia, particularly in countries such as Thailand and Myanmar. As a crucial element of digital typography, U+19BC ensures the faithful reproduction of spoken sounds from these languages in written form, thus preserving linguistic identity and promoting effective communication within and beyond these communities.
