Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩁ has the Unicode code point U+1A41. 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+1A41 to binary:
00011010 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1A41 represents the TAI THAM letter 'RA'. This script is primarily used in the Tai Tham writing system, which is an abugida (a consonant-syllable script) employed predominantly in the Southeast Asian countries of Cambodia and Laos. In digital text, U+1A41 serves as a unique identifier to distinguish 'RA' from other letters or symbols within the Tai Tham script, ensuring accurate encoding and rendering across various platforms and devices. The TAI THAM script has been an integral part of the Khmer culture for centuries, reflecting the region's rich linguistic history.
