Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰞ has the Unicode code point U+1C1E. 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+1C1E to binary:
00011100 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+1C1E, or LEPCHA LETTER HLA, is a unique character in the Unicode standard, specifically belonging to the Lepcha script. This alphabetic script, primarily used in the Sikkim region of India and the adjacent regions of Nepal, has been an essential part of the Lepcha language's written tradition for centuries. U+1C1E holds great cultural significance as it represents the critical phoneme /h/ sound in the Lepcha language, contributing to its rich linguistic heritage. In digital text applications, the use of this character is typically confined to typographical purposes or for accurate transcription and translation work. The introduction of U+1C1E into modern technology has enabled researchers, linguists, and enthusiasts alike to explore and preserve the Lepcha language and its unique script in the digital age.
