Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᦰ has the Unicode code point U+19B0. 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+19B0 to binary:
00011001 10110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+19B0, known as the NEW TAI LUE VOWEL SIGN VOWEL SHORTENER, is a typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for the Tai Lue language. In this language, which is spoken by the Tai Lue ethnic group predominantly found in the northern parts of Thailand and Myanmar, U+19B0 plays a significant role in its orthography. The character serves to represent the shortening or elongation of vowels, an essential feature of the Tai Lue script, helping to accurately convey meaning and pronunciation within the language. As an expert in typography, it is crucial to understand U+19B0's role in this linguistic context to ensure proper transcription and representation of the Tai Lue language in digital environments.
