Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮬ has the Unicode code point U+1BAC. 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+1BAC to binary:
00011011 10101100
. 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 10101100

Description
U+1BAC, or the Sundanese Consonant Sign Pasangan Ma, is a typographical character primarily used in digital texts representing the Sundanese language, which is spoken mainly in West Java, Indonesia. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and preserving the linguistic nuances of the Sundanese script. The Sundanese writing system, known as Pallangan or Hanacaraka, belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts and has been used since the 13th century. The Pasangan Ma character is part of a larger set of consonant signs in the Sundanese script, each serving a distinct function to accurately represent phonetic sounds and diacritics. In digital text formats, U+1BAC ensures the correct encoding and display of these crucial elements, thus enabling accurate representation and communication in the Sundanese language online and across various platforms.
