Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱈ has the Unicode code point U+1C48. 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+1C48 to binary:
00011100 01001000. 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 10110001 10001000

Description
The character U+1C48, known as LEPCHA DIGIT EIGHT, holds significant importance within the realm of typography and digital text. As part of the Unicode Standard, it serves as a representation for the number eight in the Lepcha script, which is predominantly used by the Lepcha people inhabiting the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, along with certain regions in Bhutan. The character's cultural and linguistic context lies in its role as a key component of written communication for this ethnic group. LEPCHA DIGIT EIGHT, much like other characters in the Lepcha script, is used in various digital platforms to facilitate accurate and efficient textual representation of the language. It helps maintain the linguistic integrity of the content while allowing for seamless interaction between users who speak or read Lepcha and those who utilize digital technologies. The character's incorporation into the Unicode Standard demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and diversity in global communication, ensuring that lesser-known languages like Lepcha are not overlooked in the ever-evolving world of technology and typography.
