Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥱ has the Unicode code point U+1971. 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+1971 to binary:
00011001 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1971 represents the "TAI LE LETTER TONE-3" in the TAI LE script. This specific letter is used primarily within the TAI LE writing system, which belongs to the family of Tai–Kadai languages spoken in various Southeast Asian countries. Typically, this character's role in digital text involves encoding tonal variations of a specific TAI LE consonant or serving as an accent mark for modifying the phonetic quality of words within the TAI LE language. U+1971 plays a crucial part in maintaining linguistic and cultural authenticity by enabling accurate representation of these tonal aspects when displaying or processing text using digital technology, such as websites, applications, and documents.
