Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝫ has the Unicode code point U+176B. 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+176B to binary:
00010111 01101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+176B, TAGBANWA LETTER MA, is an alphabetic symbol from the Tagbanwa script. This script was historically used in the Tagbanwa language, spoken by a minority group in the Philippines. In digital text, TAGBANWA LETTER MA is primarily used for representing and encoding the sounds of the Tagbanwa language, facilitating communication and preservation of this unique linguistic heritage. Although not widely known or utilized in modern technology, its inclusion in Unicode supports the broader goal of maintaining cultural diversity and historical records through accurate typographic representation.
