Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮾ has the Unicode code point U+1BBE. 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+1BBE to binary:
00011011 10111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1BBE represents the Sundanese letter "Final K" (ꜵ), which is a part of the Sundanese script used for writing the Sundanese language, spoken by millions in West Java, Indonesia. This specific letter serves as a final consonant marker, signifying that the preceding consonant is not followed by another consonant or vowel. As an integral component of the Sundanese orthography, U+1BBE plays a vital role in maintaining the accuracy and coherence of written text in this language. Despite being a specialized character within the Unicode system, U+1BBE remains important for digital communication and representation of diverse linguistic traditions, contributing to the preservation of cultural identity and knowledge through virtual media.
