Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩥ has the Unicode code point U+1A65. 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+1A65 to binary:
00011010 01100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1A65 represents the TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN I in digital text. This character is primarily used to denote the "i" vowel sound in the Tai Tham script, which is one of several writing systems utilized for various Lolo-Burmese languages spoken by Lolo (also known as Yi) people in the Southwestern China's Yunnan Province and Southeastern Tibet. The TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN I contributes to the accurate representation and differentiation of vowel sounds in these languages, facilitating effective communication among native speakers and enabling linguistic research. The Tai Tham script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant with inherent vowels, and the TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN I specifically indicates the vowel "i" in this context. Its accurate usage in digital text enhances the accessibility of these languages and supports the preservation of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
