Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᜓ has the Unicode code point U+1713. 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+1713 to binary:
00010111 00010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1713 is known as the Tagalog Vowel Sign 'U'. This character has a significant role in the Tagalog language, which is primarily spoken in the Philippines. In the digital text realm, it serves to represent the unique phonetic characteristics of the Tagalog language by indicating the presence of a specific vowel sound, as it does not have a direct equivalent in the English alphabet or other Latin-based scripts. The U+1713 character is part of the Tagalog block of Unicode characters, which was created to support the Tagalog script and its unique features. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for more accurate and authentic representation of text written in the Tagalog language, thus facilitating communication and understanding among speakers and learners of this linguistic tradition.
