Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮜ has the Unicode code point U+1B9C. 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+1B9C to binary:
00011011 10011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1B9C represents the Sundanese letter "La". This character is primarily used in the Javanese script, a writing system native to the Javanese language spoken by millions of people across Java and Bali, two major islands of Indonesia. Although it does not have widespread usage or application outside these regions, the Sundanese script holds cultural significance for the communities that speak Javanese. The U+1B9C character is part of a larger set of characters used in digital text to support the representation of the Javanese language, enabling accurate and authentic communication among its speakers. In terms of linguistic and technical context, the Javanese script is derived from the ancient Sanskrit script and has evolved over time through interactions with other scripts such as Arabic and Latin. The inclusion of U+1B9C in the Unicode Standard ensures that the Sundanese language can be accurately represented and preserved for future generations.
