Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮭ has the Unicode code point U+1BAD. 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+1BAD to binary:
00011011 10101101
. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+1BAD, known as SUNDANESE CONSONANT SIGN PASANGAN WA, is a crucial element in digital text representation for the Sundanese language, primarily spoken in West Java, Indonesia. It serves as a consonant sign in the writing system of this Austronesian language, which uses the Latin alphabet with additional script modifications to accommodate its unique phonological characteristics. U+1BAD is vital in preserving the cultural and linguistic identity of Sundanese speakers and plays a significant role in facilitating communication among native speakers. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts can accurately represent and convey the nuances of the language, promoting better understanding and fostering connections within the Sundanese-speaking community.
