Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮣ has the Unicode code point U+1BA3. 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+1BA3 to binary:
00011011 10100011
. 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 10100011

Description
U+1BA3, also known as the Sundanese Consonant Sign Panyiku, is a critical character in digital text that plays an essential role in the representation of the Sundanese language. Sundanese, spoken by millions in West Java, Indonesia, is a Malayo-Polynesian language that uses the Latin script with additional diacritic signs for its orthography. The Panyiku symbol is used to represent the voiced retroflected velar plosive sound /ɡ/, which is a crucial phoneme in the Sundanese language. As a typographic expert, it is essential to recognize the significance of this character in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Sundanese people. The accurate use of U+1BA3 in digital text ensures the proper transmission of linguistic information, enabling effective communication within the community while fostering greater appreciation for the rich linguistic diversity that exists globally.
