Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮌ has the Unicode code point U+1B8C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1B8C to binary:
00011011 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+1B8C, known as SUNDANESE LETTER GA, holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text communication. This specific character is primarily used within the Sundanese script, which is predominantly spoken by the Sundanese people in West Java, Indonesia. It serves a crucial role in maintaining linguistic continuity for this ethnic group, allowing them to express their cultural identity through written language. In a technical context, U+1B8C is part of the supplemental block of Unicode characters, which encompasses various scripts and symbols not included in the basic multilingual plane. The Sundanese script, which includes this character, is derived from the Old Javanese script and has been developed further to accommodate the phonetic and grammatical aspects of the Sundanese language. The use of U+1B8C in digital text emphasizes the need for comprehensive Unicode support to ensure accurate representation across various platforms and applications, thereby preserving cultural heritage and linguistic diversity. By incorporating these specialized characters into digital systems, developers and content creators can contribute to a more inclusive environment that respects and acknowledges the unique qualities of different languages and scripts.
