Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰧ has the Unicode code point U+1C27. 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+1C27 to binary:
00011100 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+1C27, also known as Lepcha Vowel Sign I, is a typographic character primarily used in the Lepcha language, which is spoken by the indigenous Lepcha people in Sikkim, India, and eastern Nepal. This Unicode character plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Lepcha script, serving as a diacritical mark to indicate the presence of specific vowel sounds in words. Its utilization contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of the Lepcha language's unique cultural heritage. As an essential component of the Lepcha writing system, U+1C27 ensures accurate transcription and readability of texts in this lesser-known language, thus contributing to linguistic and cultural diversity on a global scale.
