Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᥄ has the Unicode code point U+1944. 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+1944 to binary:
00011001 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+1944 is known as the Limbu Exclamation Mark, a typographical symbol that holds significance in the Limbu language, which is predominantly spoken by the Limbu people in the Eastern region of Nepal. This particular character plays an integral role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication within the Limbu linguistic context. As with other exclamation marks, its primary function is to express strong emotions or emphasize certain points in written text. However, unlike its widely-used counterparts such as U+0021 (ASCII EXCLAMATION MARK), U+1944 carries cultural and linguistic importance within the Limbu community. Despite not being commonly used in global communication, it represents an essential element of preserving and promoting the Limbu language and culture in the digital age.
