Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮯ has the Unicode code point U+1BAF. 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+1BAF to binary:
00011011 10101111
. 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 10101111

Description
U+1BAF is the Unicode code point for Sundanese Letter Sya, a character from the Javanese script used in the Sundanese language, spoken by millions of people in West Java, Indonesia. This letter plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Sundanese language online. Sundanese is an Austronesian language with a rich history and cultural significance, and its written form, based on the Javanese script, has been adopted for use in digital text to preserve and promote the linguistic identity of the Sundanese people. The adoption of Unicode standards ensures that this letter, along with other characters in the Sundanese alphabet, can be consistently rendered across different platforms and devices, thus preserving its cultural and linguistic context.
