Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰴ has the Unicode code point U+1C34. 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+1C34 to binary:
00011100 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+1C34 (LEPCHA CONSONANT SIGN NYIN-DO) is a Unicode character primarily used in the Lepcha script, which represents the Lepcha language spoken by the Lepcha people of the Indian state of Sikkim and certain parts of Nepal. The Lepcha script is an abugida system, where each consonant symbol carries inherent vowel sounds. U+1C34 specifically denotes the consonant sound "nyin" in the Lepcha language. Its typical usage in digital text is to represent this specific phoneme when transcribing and translating Lepcha texts or learning materials, contributing to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Lepcha people. In terms of cultural significance, the Lepcha script has been used for centuries, reflecting the rich history and unique identity of its speakers. The use of U+1C34 in digital text helps maintain the integrity of the Lepcha language in the modern age while fostering cultural understanding and appreciation.
