Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥛ has the Unicode code point U+195B. 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+195B to binary:
00011001 01011011
. 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 10100101 10011011

Description
U+195B TAI LE LETTER MA is a character from the Unicode standard, which aims to represent every letter, symbol, and graphical element used in written language across the world. The character is part of the Tai Le script, an abugida writing system primarily used for the Tai Le language spoken by the Tai Le people in Vietnam and China. In digital text, U+195B TAI LE LETTER MA serves as a base element for constructing words in the Tai Le language, where it typically represents the consonant-vowel structure commonly found in abugidas. The character is significant within its linguistic and cultural context, as it contributes to the preservation and continuity of the Taoist religious tradition associated with the Tai Le people, who use the script for various purposes such as religious texts, poetry, and historical documents.
