Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮻ has the Unicode code point U+1BBB. 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+1BBB to binary:
00011011 10111011
. 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 10111011

Description
U+1BBB, also known as SUNDANESE LETTER REU, is a crucial character in the Sundanese script. It holds significance within the Javanese and Sundanese languages spoken predominantly in Indonesia. As part of the Java-based family of writing systems, this character is widely used in digital texts, particularly in the transmission of religious and cultural works, such as the Sundanese epic poem "Sakayi Calonarawih." Despite not being extensively employed in daily conversation, its use in formal contexts demonstrates a deep-rooted linguistic and cultural heritage. The character's technical classification under Unicode is an essential step towards preserving and promoting the diversity of global script systems, while also facilitating interoperability among digital platforms.
