Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰃ has the Unicode code point U+1C03. 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+1C03 to binary:
00011100 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C03, known as "LEPCHA LETTER GA", is a significant symbol in the realm of digital text, specifically within the context of the Lepcha language. The Lepcha script, which is primarily used by the indigenous Lepcha people residing in the hilly regions of Sikkim and West Bengal, India, consists of 18 consonants and 9 vowels, with U+1C03 being one of its constituent letters. This character plays a vital role in encoding and transmitting text within this unique linguistic system, which is largely unwritten and orally transmitted until the recent introduction of this script in 2010. The Lepcha language belongs to the Kiranti branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family and possesses a rich cultural and historical background, making U+1C03 an important element in preserving and promoting this linguistic heritage in the digital age.
