Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰌ has the Unicode code point U+1C0C. 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+1C0C to binary:
00011100 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+1C0C represents the "LEPCHA LETTER DA" in digital text. This letter is part of the Lepcha script, which is primarily used for writing the Lepcha language spoken by the Lepcha people native to the Indian state of Sikkim and the adjacent areas of Nepal. The Lepcha script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sound 'a', and any other vowels are indicated using diacritics. U+1C0C, or ऐ, is used in the Lepcha alphabet as one of its 14 basic consonants. Despite being relatively less-known compared to other scripts, it plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Lepcha community.
