Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮎ has the Unicode code point U+1B8E. 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+1B8E to binary:
00011011 10001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+1B8E, also known as SUNDANESE LETTER CA, holds a significant place in the realm of digital text. It is primarily used within the Sundanese language, which is spoken predominantly in West Java and Banten, Indonesia. In this context, the character serves to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the language's rich oral tradition. SUNDANESE LETTER CA contributes to the linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of the Sundanese people, enabling accurate communication through written text. Despite its importance within the Sundanese language, this particular character may not be as widely recognized or used outside of its specific linguistic context due to limited exposure and the relatively niche nature of the Sundanese script.
