Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰔ has the Unicode code point U+1C14. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1C14 to binary:
00011100 00010100
. 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 10010100
LEPCHA LETTER BLA·U+1C14

Description
The Unicode character U+1C14, known as LEPCHA LETTER BLA, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Lepcha language. The Lepcha script is primarily used by the Lepcha people, an indigenous community residing in the Indian state of Sikkim and parts of Nepal. This character holds cultural importance as it enables the accurate documentation and transmission of their linguistic heritage in the digital world. Its typical usage lies within text processing, encoding, and display systems that support Unicode standard for multilingual communication. U+1C14 contributes to preserving linguistic diversity and promoting cultural understanding by representing the unique phonetic and phonological features of the Lepcha language.
