Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤍ has the Unicode code point U+190D. 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+190D to binary:
00011001 00001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+190D, known as the Limbu Letter Da, holds a significant place in the digital text arena. It is predominantly used within the Limbu script, which belongs to the Indic family of scripts. This particular letter is integral to the structure and formation of words in this language, thereby playing an essential role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and coherence. The Limbu script, indigenous to Nepal, is primarily used for writing the Limbu language, a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Limbu people. The Limbu script and language are recognized as part of the cultural heritage of Nepal, thus the U+190D, among other Limbu characters, helps maintain this rich cultural context in digital text forms. In terms of technical context, Unicode, a computing industry standard for unique character encoding, encodes every letter, symbol, and number in every language on earth. The character U+190D is assigned the value 190D in the hexadecimal system, signifying its unique position among other characters. In conclusion, the Unicode character U+190D holds a significant place in digital text representation of the Limbu language. Its usage contributes to preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic specificity of the Limbu people. This character's inclusion in the Unicode standard also underscores its importance in maintaining global textual diversity.
