Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝨ has the Unicode code point U+1768. 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+1768 to binary:
00010111 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1768 represents the TAGBANWA LETTER NA, which plays a significant role in the Tagbanwa script of the Aklanon language spoken by the Aklanon people in the Philippines. This script has a unique system of notation that is distinct from the Latin alphabet and it includes vowel signs and diacritics to modify consonants. The TAGBANWA LETTER NA, specifically, serves as a base character for constructing syllables in this language. The character's typographical rendering may vary across different digital platforms and font sets, but it typically retains its essential form as a lowercase 'n' with a horizontal line above it to indicate nasality. While the use of the Tagbanwa script is currently limited, efforts are underway to preserve and promote this important aspect of Aklanon cultural heritage through digital mediums and educational initiatives.
