Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰊ has the Unicode code point U+1C0A. 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+1C0A to binary:
00011100 00001010
. 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 10001010

Description
U+1C0A, the Lepcha Letter Ta, is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing a specific letter from the Lepcha script. The Lepcha language belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of languages and is primarily spoken by the Lepcha people in Sikkim, India, and Nepal. As part of the digital text representation system, U+1C0A allows for the accurate encoding and display of traditional Lepcha literature in various electronic platforms, including websites, documents, and software applications. By enabling the preservation and promotion of indigenous languages, characters like U+1C0A contribute to cultural diversity and linguistic heritage on a global scale. The Lepcha script, which consists of 27 letters, was adapted from the Tibetan script and has been used since at least the 18th century.
