Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮶ has the Unicode code point U+1BB6. 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+1BB6 to binary:
00011011 10110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1BB6 represents the Sundanese digit six (᮷). This character is part of the Sundanese script, which belongs to the Javanic language family and is predominantly used in the Indonesian province of West Java by the Sundanese people. Its primary role in digital text is to represent the numerical value of six within the context of the Sundanese writing system. As a digit character, it may appear in various numerals, such as phone numbers, addresses, or any numerical data where the native representation of the number is preferred for localization purposes. While it serves a similar purpose to its Latin counterpart '6', the inclusion of U+1BB6 in digital text helps maintain linguistic and cultural authenticity in regions where the Sundanese script is prevalent.
