Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱆ has the Unicode code point U+1C46. 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+1C46 to binary:
00011100 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+1C46, also known as Lepcha Digit Six, is a significant character within the Unicode standard, specifically used to represent the numeral 'six' in the Lepcha language. The Lepcha script, which originates from the Sikkim and Darjeeling regions of India, belongs to the Indic family of scripts. Digital text using U+1C46 is predominantly found in applications that support or require Indic scripts for linguistic purposes, such as software for writing systems in South Asia. Its role is essential for maintaining the accuracy and authenticity of written Lepcha texts, as well as facilitating communication among the Lepcha-speaking population. In terms of technical context, U+1C46 adheres to the Unicode Standard, ensuring consistency and compatibility across various platforms and applications.
