Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰜ has the Unicode code point U+1C1C. 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+1C1C to binary:
00011100 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+1C1C, known as the Lepcha Letter La, is a unique typographical element primarily used within the digital realm for the representation of text in the Lepcha script. This particular script serves as the writing system for the Lepcha language, which is spoken by the indigenous Lepcha people residing primarily in the Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, as well as parts of Nepal. U+1C1C holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance due to its role in preserving and promoting the Lepcha language and culture, which has been recognized by UNESCO for its endangerment status. By utilizing this character and others within the Lepcha script's Unicode range (U+1C00 - U+1C4F), digital platforms can accurately represent and facilitate communication in the Lepcha language, thus aiding in the preservation and promotion of this rich cultural heritage.
