Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪙ has the Unicode code point U+1A99. 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+1A99 to binary:
00011010 10011001. 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 10101010 10011001

Description
U+1A99 is the Unicode character code for TAI THAM THAM DIGIT NINE, a numeral used primarily in the Tham script, which is an abugida writing system used for the Tai languages spoken by various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. In digital text, this character is often employed to represent the number nine in documents and materials written or translated using Tham script. The Tham script has its origins in the ancient Brahmi script and evolved over time to accommodate the unique phonological features of Tai languages. U+1A99 holds significance as it represents one of the ten essential numerals in the Tham script, which forms the basis for numerical notation in these languages. Its precise role is context-dependent, but it commonly serves as a crucial element in text formatting, indexing, and numerical representation within digital content that utilizes the Tham script system.
