Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮑ has the Unicode code point U+1B91. 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+1B91 to binary:
00011011 10010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1B91, known as the Sundanese Letter Nyawa, holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography, particularly within the Sundanese language. The Sundanese script is primarily used by native speakers of the Indonesian language in West Java and Banten provinces in Indonesia, where it maintains strong cultural significance. The character's role in digital text is to represent the 'nya' sound in Sundanese, contributing to its phonetic structure. It is important to note that U+1B91 does not have a direct equivalent in the Latin alphabet and is exclusive to the Sundanese script. This character plays an essential part in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, as it allows for accurate representation of the Sundanese language within digital platforms.
