Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᳃ has the Unicode code point U+1CC3. 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+1CC3 to binary:
00011100 11000011
. 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 10110011 10000011

Description
The character U+1CC3, known as Sundanese Punctuation Bindu Cakra, holds a significant position in the realm of digital text, particularly for those engaging with the Sundanese language. This unique Unicode character is predominantly used in Sundanese literature and digital communications to denote a specific aspect of the language's syntax and grammar. The Bindu Cakra serves as an indicator of pause or interruption in speech or thought within the text, acting as a functional punctuation mark rather than a decorative symbol. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical context, it is crucial to note that Sundanese, spoken by millions in West Java and Banten in Indonesia, forms part of the broader Austronesian language family. The use of Unicode characters like U+1CC3 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of these communities, enabling accurate representation and exchange of information across digital platforms.
