Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨶ has the Unicode code point U+1A36. 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+1A36 to binary:
00011010 00110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1A36 represents the "TAI THAM LETTER NA" in digital text. This letter is part of the Tai Tham script, which is used to write several Austroasiatic languages, including Vung and Khmer. The Tai Tham script was developed during the 1950s as a replacement for the traditional Brahmi-derived scripts that were previously used in these languages. U+1A36 is a crucial component of the Tai Tham script due to its role in representing unique phonetic and semantic values, allowing readers and speakers of these languages to communicate effectively in written and spoken forms. The character U+1A36 plays an important role in preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of these communities, as it facilitates literacy and the transmission of knowledge across generations.
