Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰋ has the Unicode code point U+1C0B. 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+1C0B to binary:
00011100 00001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+1C0B, known as the Lepcha Letter Tha, is a vital character in the Unicode system, used to represent the phonetic symbol of the Lepcha language. This language is primarily spoken by the Lepcha people, an ethnic group predominantly residing in the Indian state of Sikkim and neighboring regions in Nepal. The Lepcha script, which is also written from left to right, consists of 13 vowels and 26 consonants. In digital text, U+1C0B plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and translating the Lepcha language. Despite its relatively limited use compared to other scripts in widespread languages, the Unicode character U+1C0B is essential for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity.
