Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥇ has the Unicode code point U+1947. 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+1947 to binary:
00011001 01000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1947, known as the Limbu Digit One, is a numeral from the Limbu script, which is primarily used to write the Limbu language, spoken in the eastern region of Nepal. In digital text, this character serves as a unique representation of the number one within the Limbu script system. The Limbu script is an abugida, meaning that it uses a consonant-based writing system with inherent vowels. The U+1947 character plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the Limbu language and culture by providing a uniform way to represent numbers digitally. As a part of the Unicode Standard, this character ensures accurate encoding and display across various platforms, software, and devices, thus facilitating communication and documentation in the Limbu language.
