Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥓ has the Unicode code point U+1953. 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+1953 to binary:
00011001 01010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1953 represents the TAI LE LETTER TSA (᠂). It is an essential element in digital text, primarily used within the Tai Le script, a lesser-known writing system originating from Northeast India and Myanmar. This script, although relatively obscure compared to more widely recognized ones like Latin or Arabic, holds significant cultural value for the communities that use it. The TAI LE LETTER TSA specifically contributes to the formation of words in this particular script, playing a crucial role in preserving and transmitting linguistic heritage. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of scripts and languages represented within the Unicode Standard, as they collectively enrich our global digital text landscape.
