Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰣ has the Unicode code point U+1C23. 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+1C23 to binary:
00011100 00100011. 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 10110000 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C23, also known as Lepcha Letter A, holds a significant position in the digital realm of typography. It represents one of the 25 basic letters in the Lepcha script, which is primarily used to write the Lepcha language spoken by the indigenous Lepcha people inhabiting the Indian state of Sikkim and the country of Nepal. The Lepcha script, although not widely known or used globally, has a rich cultural and linguistic history that dates back centuries. As with many lesser-known scripts, the preservation of U+1C23 and its role in digital text is vital to maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. In the context of technical usage, U+1C23 adheres to Unicode standards, ensuring consistent encoding and display across various platforms and applications, thus enabling accurate representation and communication of the Lepcha language in the digital age.
