Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰽ has the Unicode code point U+1C3D. 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+1C3D to binary:
00011100 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1C3D, Lepcha Punctuation Cer-wa, is an essential symbol in the Lepcha language, spoken primarily by the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India, and Nepal. This typographical element plays a critical role in digital text representation for the Lepcha script, facilitating accurate communication among speakers of this endangered language. The Cer-wa, like other punctuation marks, serves to clarify meaning and enhance readability by signaling pauses or breaks in speech, aiding readers in comprehending written texts more efficiently. Despite its niche application within the Lepcha script, U+1C3D demonstrates the value of Unicode's comprehensive character set, enabling digital preservation and accessibility of diverse linguistic heritage for generations to come.
