Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰾ has the Unicode code point U+1C3E. 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+1C3E to binary:
00011100 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1C3E, known as Lepcha Punctuation Tshook Cer-Wa, holds a vital role in the Lepcha language's digital text representation. Belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of languages, Lepcha is primarily spoken by the Lepcha people residing in the hilly regions of Sikkim and West Bengal, India. This unique punctuation mark aids in structuring sentences and conveying meaning within this lesser-known language. The character's inclusion in Unicode ensures its accurate portrayal across different digital platforms and software, preserving the cultural identity of Lepcha speakers in the digital age. Despite being relatively obscure outside of specific linguistic circles, U+1C3E plays a significant role in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of the Lepcha language in written form.
