Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰵ has the Unicode code point U+1C35. 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+1C35 to binary:
00011100 00110101
. 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 10110000 10110101

Description
U+1C35, Lepcha Consonant Sign KANG, is a typographical character used in the Lepcha script, an ancient writing system originating from Sikkim, India. The Lepcha language belongs to the Kirati family of languages and is spoken by the Lepcha people, who primarily reside in the Indian state of Sikkim and parts of Nepal. In digital text, U+1C35 serves as a crucial element for accurate representation and communication of the Lepcha language. Its precise role lies in representing the phonetic value of 'k' when placed before other consonants or at the beginning of a word, contributing to the linguistic richness and cultural identity of the Lepcha people. In terms of technical context, U+1C35 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character used in written languages across the globe, promoting global communication and preserving diverse linguistic heritages.
