Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨯ has the Unicode code point U+1A2F. 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+1A2F to binary:
00011010 00101111. 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 10101000 10101111

Description
U+1A2F, known as TAI THAM LETTER DA, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designed to represent a specific letter in the Tham script. The Tham script is primarily used for writing the Tai Tham language, which belongs to the Kra-Dai language family, predominantly spoken in southern China and Southeast Asia. In digital text, U+1A2F plays a crucial role by accurately representing the phonetic value of 'da' or 'dā', providing a precise representation for accurate text processing and translation purposes. The character is also significant in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts as it enables the preservation and promotion of the unique script and language, which has been historically marginalized in the digital space. Overall, U+1A2F contributes to the broader effort of inclusivity in text encoding, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of global linguistic diversity in digital communication and information storage.
