Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥈ has the Unicode code point U+1948. 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+1948 to binary:
00011001 01001000
. 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 10001000

Description
U+1948 is the Unicode code point for LIMBU DIGIT TWO, a character from the Limbu script used in the Limbu language. The Limbu script is primarily used to write the Limbu language, which is spoken by over 300,000 people in the Eastern part of Nepal and the Indian State of Sikkim. Typically found in digital texts, this character represents the numeral two within the Limbu script, serving as a key component for writing numbers in the language. The Limbu script is an abugida system, meaning that it consists of a base consonant with inherent vowels and additional diacritics for modifying those vowels or creating new sounds. As part of the growing digital world, characters like U+1948 play an essential role in preserving and promoting the Limbu language, culture, and heritage by enabling accurate and accessible communication online.
