Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᝢ has the Unicode code point U+1762. 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+1762 to binary:
00010111 01100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+1762 represents the TAGBANWA LETTER U, a unique symbol used primarily in digital texts to represent a specific letter in the Tagbanwa script. The Tagbanwa script is an ancient writing system used by the indigenous Tagbanwa people of the Philippines, primarily in the province of Palawan. Although this script was largely replaced by the Latin alphabet, efforts are being made to revive and preserve the Tagbanwa script as part of cultural preservation initiatives. The TAGBANWA LETTER U is an essential component of the Tagbanwa script, playing a crucial role in preserving the linguistic identity and heritage of the Tagbanwa people. In digital text, this character serves to maintain accuracy and fidelity in transcribing and translating documents, ensuring that the rich cultural history of the Tagbanwa people is not lost over time.
