Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨭ has the Unicode code point U+1A2D. 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+1A2D to binary:
00011010 00101101
. 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 10101101

Description
U+1A2D, the TAI THAM LETTER RATA, is a character in the Unicode standard that holds a significant role in digital text representation. It forms part of the Tai Tham script, an abugida writing system used primarily by the Tai Tham-speaking people native to Southeast Asia. The Tai Tham script has been traditionally employed for written communication within the region, and with the advent of modern technology, its characters have been incorporated into digital platforms via Unicode encoding. This facilitates the preservation of cultural heritage and linguistic identity in the digital age. In a technical context, U+1A2D allows accurate representation of the TAI THAM LETTER RATA character when encoded in text files, applications, or websites, ensuring clear communication across different devices and software.
