Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩚ has the Unicode code point U+1A5A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1A5A to binary:
00011010 01011010. 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 10101001 10011010

Description
U+1A5A (TAI THAM CONSONANT SIGN LOW PA) is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Tai Tham script. The Tai Tham script, also known as "Tai Leu," is primarily used to write various Tai languages spoken by millions of people across Southeast Asia, such as the Thai, Lao, and Shan languages. U+1A5A represents the phoneme /p/ when it occurs in a syllable at the beginning or middle position, and its usage in digital text enables accurate transcription and communication of these languages on electronic devices and platforms. Despite being relatively less known compared to other scripts, U+1A5A holds cultural and linguistic importance for speakers of Tai Tham languages, contributing to their rich oral tradition and heritage.
