Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱎ has the Unicode code point U+1C4E. 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+1C4E to binary:
00011100 01001110. 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 10110001 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+1C4E is known as the Lepcha Letter TTHA. It is an essential component of the Lepcha script, which is used in the Lepcha language spoken by the Lepcha people primarily found in the Indian state of Sikkim and parts of Nepal. The Lepcha script is an abugida system, meaning that it derives each letter from a basic letter shape. U+1C4E represents a phoneme in the Lepcha language and is used to transcribe speech into written form for both oral and literary purposes. In digital text, U+1C4E plays a vital role as it helps maintain the integrity of the Lepcha language by allowing its speakers and learners to communicate effectively and preserve their linguistic heritage. The character contributes to the cultural preservation of the Lepcha people, providing them with a means to express their unique identity and history through written form. In terms of technical context, U+1C4E is part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates consistent encoding and display of text across various platforms and devices, ensuring that the Lepcha script remains accessible and usable in the digital age.
