Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰒ has the Unicode code point U+1C12. 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+1C12 to binary:
00011100 00010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1C12, known as "LEPCHA LETTER FLA," is a crucial element of the Lepcha script. Lepcha is an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken in the Indian state of Sikkim and in Bhutan. This particular character serves as one of the 21 consonants within the Lepcha script, which has been adopted into Unicode to support the digital representation and exchange of texts written in this language. In the context of typography, U+1C12 is an integral component that facilitates accurate representation and transcription of Lepcha texts across various digital platforms, thus preserving the cultural and linguistic integrity of the language for its speakers.
