Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰰ has the Unicode code point U+1C30. 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+1C30 to binary:
00011100 00110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1C30, known as the Lepcha Consonant Sign N, is a crucial component of the Lepcha script, which is used to write the Lepcha language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Sikkim. The Lepcha language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of languages and holds significant cultural importance for the Lepcha people. U+1C30, along with other characters in the Lepcha script (U+1C20 through U+1C46), plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Lepcha language on electronic devices and platforms. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code point for every character, ensures the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. The technical context surrounding U+1C30 lies in its specific position within the Lepcha script, where it contributes to a systematic representation of phonetic properties and grammatical structures.
