Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨽ has the Unicode code point U+1A3D. 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+1A3D to binary:
00011010 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+1A3D is a unique character known as the "TAI THAM LETTER LOW PHA" in the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a representative of the Tai Tham script, which is used to write the Tai languages spoken by ethnic Thai and Lao communities residing in various regions such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, China, and Vietnam. The character plays an essential role in digital text, facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage for these linguistic groups. U+1A3D is part of a larger group of characters in the Unicode block designated for the Tai Tham script (U+1A00-U+1A4F), which encompasses 57 characters in total, including base letters, vowel diacritics, and tonal marks. The TAI THAM LETTER LOW PHA character specifically represents the consonant 'pha' with a low tone marker. This Unicode character helps maintain the proper pronunciation and intonation of words in Tai languages, thereby fostering greater accuracy in communication across digital platforms.
