Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝣ has the Unicode code point U+1763. 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+1763 to binary:
00010111 01100011
. 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 10011101 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1763, known as TAGBANWA LETTER KA, is a specialty letter used in the Tagbanwa script, which is the writing system of the Tagbanua people in the Philippines. It has a significant role in digital text representation, enabling proper encoding and communication of their language in the modern digital world. The Tagbanwa script consists of 24 letters, with U+1763 being one of them. Its usage contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage of the Tagbanwa people and allows for cultural exchange through digital media platforms. Due to its relatively niche usage, this character may not be widely recognized or utilized outside of specific communities or academic contexts related to Philippine languages and scripts.
