Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮈ has the Unicode code point U+1B88. 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+1B88 to binary:
00011011 10001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1B88 represents the Sundanese letter "E", a script primarily used for the Sundanese language spoken by millions of people in West Java, Indonesia. This script is part of the Javanese family of scripts and is closely related to Balinese and Sasak scripts. In digital text, U+1B88 serves as an essential element for accurate representation and communication of the Sundanese language. The letter "E" carries a crucial role in forming words and sentences, thus playing a vital part in maintaining linguistic identity and cultural heritage. While its usage is mainly within the context of Sundanese, the use of this character helps to preserve and promote the rich linguistic diversity that Unicode aims to support.
