Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱇ has the Unicode code point U+1C47. 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+1C47 to binary:
00011100 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C47, also known as Lepcha Digit Seven, is a unique numeric symbol used primarily within the Lepcha language. Lepcha is an Austroasiatic language spoken by the Lepcha people, who reside in the eastern region of India and the adjoining areas of Nepal. This digit plays a crucial role in written communication, enabling speakers of the language to express numerical values easily and accurately. While digital text often employs Arabic numerals for the sake of universal comprehension, U+1C47 remains an essential component of Lepcha literature, signifying the number seven. The character's distinctive appearance, with a vertical line bisected by two shorter horizontal lines, reflects its cultural significance and linguistic roots. Despite its limited use in global communication, the Lepcha Digit Seven remains an important symbol within the Lepcha community, serving as a testament to their unique linguistic heritage and maintaining a vital role in preserving their cultural identity.
