Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜎ has the Unicode code point U+170E. 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+170E to binary:
00010111 00001110. 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 10011100 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+170E represents the Tagalog letter "La" (TAGALOG LETTER LA). This character plays a significant role in digital text related to the Filipino language, particularly in Tagalog, one of the two official languages of the Philippines. In the context of typography and linguistics, U+170E is essential for accurate representation of the written form of the Tagalog language. The Tagalog script, which is a part of the larger Philippine scripts family, has been used for centuries to express various aspects of Filipino culture, history, literature, and daily communication. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper encoding and display of text in digital platforms, facilitating global communication and preservation of linguistic diversity.
