Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰉ has the Unicode code point U+1C09. 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+1C09 to binary:
00011100 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The character U+1C09, known as Lepcha Letter NYA, plays a significant role in the Lepcha language, which is spoken by the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India, and the Darjeeling district in West Bengal, India. This Unicode character holds great importance in digital text, enabling accurate representation of the Lepcha script on various platforms and software. Lepcha, an endangered language with fewer than 1,000 speakers, is part of the Sino-Tibetan language family and has a rich cultural and linguistic history. The use of U+1C09 in digital text preserves this heritage, allowing for the continuation of the Lepcha language in the modern world. As a result, the accurate representation of this character is crucial to maintain and promote the linguistic diversity that Unicode aims to support.
