Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱉ has the Unicode code point U+1C49. 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+1C49 to binary:
00011100 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1C49, known as LEPCHA DIGIT NINE, is a glyph representing the numeral nine in the Lepcha script. Lepcha is an indigenous language spoken predominantly in the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal. This digit is commonly used in digital text to represent numerical values within the Lepcha linguistic context, serving as a vital element for accurate representation and communication in the language. The Lepcha script, consisting of 17 consonants and 8 vowels, is primarily used for writing the Lepcha language, which belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of languages. U+1C49 plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Lepcha people, who are an indigenous community residing in the Eastern Himalayas.
