Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩇ has the Unicode code point U+1A47. 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+1A47 to binary:
00011010 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+1A47 (TAI THAM LETTER HIGH SSA) is a unique character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for use in digital text representation of the Tai Tham script. The Tai Tham script is predominantly used to write the Tai languages, which are spoken by various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, including the Thai people. This particular letter, TAI THAM LETTER HIGH SSA, plays a significant role in the phonetic and orthographic structure of these languages, representing a specific sound or syllable. In the context of linguistic analysis and digital communication, the accurate representation of such characters is vital for preserving the cultural heritage and understanding of these language systems. By including U+1A47 in its standardized form, Unicode ensures that the rich history and complexity of Tai languages can be accurately represented and shared across different platforms, devices, and applications, thus contributing to the preservation of linguistic diversity in our increasingly interconnected world.
