Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰱ has the Unicode code point U+1C31. 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+1C31 to binary:
00011100 00110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+1C31, also known as Lepcha Consonant Sign P, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and Unicode. In digital text, this character plays a pivotal role by representing a specific consonant sound in the Lepcha language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Sikkim. The Lepcha script is characterized by its unique set of characters, with U+1C31 being one among them. This script is an essential part of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Lepcha people. In terms of technical context, U+1C31 falls under the Sora-Lepcha block in Unicode, indicating its association with these two languages. The accurate representation of such characters, including U+1C31, is crucial for supporting multilingual environments and maintaining linguistic diversity.
