Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱂ has the Unicode code point U+1C42. 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+1C42 to binary:
00011100 01000010. 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 10000010

Description
The character U+1C42, Lepcha Digit Two, is a numeral symbol from the Lepcha script, an abugida writing system used primarily in the Sikkim region of India and parts of Nepal by the Lepcha people. In digital text, it serves as a numerical representation, similar to its counterparts in other alphabets or scripts. The Lepcha Digit Two character plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Lepcha community, which has been acknowledged by UNESCO under the program "Memory of the World." In the context of typography, U+1C42 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to standardize and promote the interchangeability of text across different platforms, devices, and applications. As an expert in typography and Unicode, it is essential to understand the significance of such characters in preserving linguistic diversity and ensuring accurate representation in digital communication.
