Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮋ has the Unicode code point U+1B8B. 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+1B8B to binary:
00011011 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+1B8B represents the Sundanese letter "Qa" (SUNDANESE LETTER QA). This specific character is primarily used in digital text within the Sundanese language, which is predominantly spoken in West Java and Banten provinces of Indonesia. The Sundanese script is an abugida system with a total of 21 consonants, each combined with one of five vowels to create distinct letters. U+1B8B holds a significant role within the digital representation of this language, as it enables accurate encoding and transmission of written communication in Sundanese through text messaging, word processing, and other digital platforms. Despite its relatively limited usage outside of its specific cultural context, the Sundanese letter "Qa" remains an essential component in preserving and advancing the linguistic heritage and identity of the Sundanese-speaking community.
