Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᮅ has the Unicode code point U+1B85. 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+1B85 to binary:
00011011 10000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+1B85 represents the Sundanese letter "U". It is primarily used in the Sundanese script, which is employed to write the Sundanese language, also known as Bahasa Sunda. This language belongs to the Austronesian family and is predominantly spoken in West Java, Indonesia. The Sundanese script was developed during the 19th century based on the Javanese script and has since undergone several modifications. In digital text, U+1B85 serves as a crucial component in facilitating communication among Sundanese-speaking communities by enabling accurate representation of their language in various electronic platforms. Although the usage of this character is relatively limited compared to more widely used scripts, it holds significant cultural and linguistic value for the Sundanese people. The inclusion of U+1B85 in digital text ensures proper representation and preservation of the Sundanese script, which in turn contributes to the rich tapestry of world languages and cultures.
