Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮺ has the Unicode code point U+1BBA. 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+1BBA to binary:
00011011 10111010. 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 10101110 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+1BBA, known as the Sundanese Avagraha, is a unique typographical symbol used in the Sundanese language, primarily spoken in West Java, Indonesia. In digital text, its typical usage is to mark a pause or a caesura within a sentence, similar to a comma, without changing intonation like a period. The Sundanese Avagraha (⠘⠁) is an important element of the Sundanese script as it contributes significantly to the language's phonetics and semantics. While its use in modern typography has diminished with the widespread adoption of Latin script, the character remains a crucial component for scholars studying or translating texts in the Sundanese language.
