Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮊ has the Unicode code point U+1B8A. 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+1B8A to binary:
00011011 10001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The character U+1B8A, known as SUNDANESE LETTER KA, holds significant importance within the realm of digital typography and language encoding. This particular Unicode character, belonging to the group of Sundanese script letters, plays a crucial role in accurately representing and transcribing the Sundanese language. Sundanese is primarily spoken by the Sundanese people, who reside predominantly in West Java, Indonesia, and this character is essential in preserving their linguistic heritage in digital text. As part of the extended Latin alphabet, SUNDANESE LETTER KA contributes to the accurate representation of phonetic characteristics and pronunciation rules within the Sundanese language. The inclusion of U+1B8A within digital text and software applications allows for a more precise representation of this unique cultural and linguistic asset, thereby promoting inclusivity and diversity in global communication.
