Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰛ has the Unicode code point U+1C1B. 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+1C1B to binary:
00011100 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C1B, Lepcha Letter Ra, plays a significant role in the Lepcha script, which is primarily used for writing the Lepcha language spoken by the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India, and the Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. This script is part of the 12th supplementary block of Unicode and was added to support the documentation, preservation, and promotion of this endangered language. The Lepcha script comprises 37 letters, including vowels and consonants, and U+1C1B specifically represents the 'Ra' sound in Lepcha. Its digital text usage aims to maintain cultural heritage and linguistic diversity by providing a platform for the Lepcha people to communicate in their native language on digital platforms, ensuring its continued existence in the age of technology. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1C1B allows for seamless integration with other Unicode-encoded text systems, making it accessible and usable across various software applications and devices, thereby promoting inclusivity for minority languages.
