Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰎ has the Unicode code point U+1C0E. 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+1C0E to binary:
00011100 00001110
. 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 10001110
LEPCHA LETTER PA·U+1C0E

Description
The Unicode character U+1C0E, or "LEPCHA LETTER PA", is a key component in the Lepcha language, which primarily spoken by the Lepcha people residing in the Indian state of Sikkim and parts of West Bengal. In digital text, this glyph represents the phoneme /pa/, a common sound in the Lepcha language and many other global languages. As an integral part of Lepcha script, U+1C0E serves to maintain linguistic identity and cultural heritage for its speakers. The character's usage is limited to typographical representations of the Lepcha language in digital platforms due to the lack of widespread use or recognition of this writing system beyond its native community. Despite its relative obscurity, the Unicode character U+1C0E plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic diversity and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Lepcha people.
