Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰿ has the Unicode code point U+1C3F. 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+1C3F to binary:
00011100 00111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+1C3F, also known as the Lepcha Punctuation Tshook, is a unique character in the realm of typography and Unicode. It plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the Lepcha language. The Lepcha language, native to Sikkim, India, and Nepal, has its own set of distinct punctuation marks to cater to its grammar and phonetic structures. As an integral part of this linguistic system, U+1C3F contributes to the accurate representation and readability of Lepcha texts in digital platforms. While its usage is relatively niche, it holds great cultural and linguistic importance for speakers of the Lepcha language.
