Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥊ has the Unicode code point U+194A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+194A to binary:
00011001 01001010
. 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 10100101 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+194A, known as the Limbu Digit Four, plays a significant role within digital text systems by representing the numeral 'four' in the Limbu script. This specific script is predominantly used for writing the Limbu language, which is spoken primarily by the Limbu people of eastern Nepal. The Limbu script has its own unique set of characters and numerical representations, separate from the widely-used Latin or Arabic numerals. In digital text environments, U+194A serves as a crucial component in accurately representing and encoding texts written in the Limbu language. Its use helps maintain linguistic integrity and cultural authenticity for speakers and readers of this regional language, contributing to the rich tapestry of diverse writing systems across the globe.
