Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥡ has the Unicode code point U+1961. 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+1961 to binary:
00011001 01100001
. 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 10100001
TAI LE LETTER TSHA·U+1961

Description
The Unicode character U+1961 represents the "Tsha" letter from the Tai Le script, a lesser-known writing system used primarily in the Tai Le language, spoken by communities in Vietnam and China. In digital text, this character is crucial for accurate representation of the language and preservation of cultural heritage. The Tai Le script, which includes 24 letters, is based on the traditional Chinese script, with some modifications to suit the phonetic structure of the Tai Le language. While the usage of U+1961 in digital text is relatively limited due to the niche nature of the Tai Le language, it plays a vital role in facilitating communication within the Tai Le-speaking communities and promoting linguistic diversity.
