Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱅ has the Unicode code point U+1C45. 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+1C45 to binary:
00011100 01000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+1C45 represents the Lepcha digit five in the Lepcha script. This numeral is primarily used in the Lepcha language, which is spoken by the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India, and the adjacent regions of Nepal. As part of a written tradition dating back to at least the 16th century, the Lepcha script was created for this Indo-Aryan language, reflecting its distinct cultural and linguistic context. In digital text, U+1C45 serves as an essential element in rendering and encoding texts within the Lepcha script, contributing to the preservation of the language's identity and history. Its usage plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and continuity of written Lepcha communication, as well as facilitating the accessibility and readability of the language for its speakers.
