Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰟ has the Unicode code point U+1C1F. 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+1C1F to binary:
00011100 00011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C1F represents the 'VA' letter from the Lepcha script, a writing system used primarily for the Lepcha language, spoken by the Lepcha people in the Indian state of Sikkim and Bhutan. In digital text, U+1C1F serves as a crucial element to accurately represent and display the Lepcha language online, enabling communication and preservation of cultural heritage among its speakers. The Lepcha script is notable for being one of the few abugidas, where each consonant character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel (a), making it unique in comparison to other scripts. This intricate system highlights the importance of accurate typographical representation through Unicode, ensuring proper translation, communication, and recognition of this culturally significant script.
