Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤈ has the Unicode code point U+1908. 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+1908 to binary:
00011001 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1908, known as the Limbu Letter Ja (ल), is an essential glyph in the Limbu script, which represents the Limbu language spoken primarily in the Sankhuwasabha District of Nepal. This script, based on the Devanagari writing system, is used to transcribe the phonetic and phonological features of the Limbu language. In digital text, U+1908 serves as a fundamental building block for encoding texts in the Limbu language, enabling accurate representation and communication among native speakers. While the use of this character is primarily limited to the Limbu community and linguists, its presence in Unicode ensures accessibility and inclusivity for diverse languages and scripts in the digital realm.
