Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰩ has the Unicode code point U+1C29. 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+1C29 to binary:
00011100 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1C29, known as the Lepcha Vowel Sign OO, plays a crucial role in digital texts representing the Lepcha language. This unique typographical symbol is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy and preserving the cultural heritage of the Lepcha people, who primarily reside in the Sikkim and Darjeeling regions of India. The character is an indispensable component in accurately transcribing and translating the phonetics and grammar of the Lepcha language, which does not use a standard alphabet system like many other languages. In addition to its function within digital texts, the Lepcha Vowel Sign OO has significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it reflects the distinct characteristics of this lesser-known language. By accurately employing this character in digital text, researchers, linguists, and users can work together to preserve and explore the rich linguistic history and cultural identity of the Lepcha people.
