Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᰫ has the Unicode code point U+1C2B. 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+1C2B to binary:
00011100 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C2B, known as the "LEPCHA VOWEL SIGN UU," holds a significant position in digital text representation. It is primarily used in the Lepcha script, an alphasyllabic writing system employed for the Lepcha language, spoken by the Lepcha people of the Indian state of Sikkim and the country of Nepal. The character's role in this script is to denote the vowel sound "UU," which forms a crucial component of the unique phonetic characteristics of the Lepcha language. While it might seem obscure for broader audiences, the inclusion of such specialized characters in Unicode ensures linguistic diversity and cultural preservation within digital realms. Consequently, U+1C2B is an essential character for accurate representation and communication in the context of Lepcha literature, religious texts, and modern digital interactions.
