Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+193C. 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+193C to binary:
00011001 00111100. 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 10100100 10111100

Description
U+193C is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically the "Sinhala Extended" block. This character represents "හ" (Ha) in Sinhala script, which is the official language of Sri Lanka. In digital text, this character is used to represent the 'Ha' sound in various words and phrases. The Sinhala script has a rich history dating back over 2000 years, with its origins rooted in the ancient Brahmi script, making it one of the oldest living scripts in the world. U+193C (හ) is an essential component of modern Sinhala typography and plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic heritage of the Sinhala language and culture.
