Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰼ has the Unicode code point U+1C3C. 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+1C3C to binary:
00011100 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+1C3C, also known as Lepcha Punctuation Nyet Thyoom Ta-Rol, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for its role in the Lepcha script. The Lepcha language, spoken by the Lepcha people of Sikkim and Nepal, belongs to the Kirati group of languages, which are part of the larger Himalayan-Ganga family. This specific character serves as a punctuation mark within the Lepcha script, denoting the end of a sentence or phrase in written Lepcha texts. The cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts surrounding U+1C3C are centered around the preservation and promotion of the Lepcha language and its unique script, which has been largely replaced by the use of the Devanagari script due to various socio-political influences.
