Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮡ has the Unicode code point U+1BA1. 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+1BA1 to binary:
00011011 10100001
. 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 10100001

Description
U+1BA1 is the Unicode code point for the Sundanese Consonant Sign Pamingkal (ᮟ). In digital text, this character serves as a phonetic symbol in the Javanese script, which is primarily used to represent the Sundanese language spoken by millions of people in West Java, Indonesia. The Sundanese script is derived from the Old Javanese script, featuring unique consonant and vowel signs that are differentiated by diacritical marks. As a consonant sign in the script, ᮟ represents the phoneme /p/, playing a vital role in accurately representing the Sundanese language's phonetic structure. This character is essential for maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural heritage of the Sundanese people, as it enables accurate representation and communication of their unique language in digital formats.
