Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝰ has the Unicode code point U+1770. 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+1770 to binary:
00010111 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1770 represents the TAGBANWA LETTER SA. In digital text, this character typically serves as a letter in the Tagbanwa script, an abugida writing system used for the Tagalog language. The Tagbanwa script has its roots in ancient Philippines and is considered a lesser-known and less widely studied script compared to other Filipino scripts such as Baybayin or Hanunoo. Despite its relative obscurity, the TAGBANWA LETTER SA holds cultural significance for Filipino linguists and researchers who work on preserving and understanding indigenous languages and their associated writing systems. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1770 ensures the accurate representation and encoding of the Tagbanwa script in digital platforms, enabling its use in modern communications and preserving its legacy for future generations.
