Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤁ has the Unicode code point U+1901. 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+1901 to binary:
00011001 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1901, known as LIMBU LETTER KA, is a crucial component of the Limbu script, which is predominantly used in writing the Limbu language, primarily spoken by the Limbu people residing in Eastern Nepal and parts of Sikkim in India. This script was developed using the Devanagari writing system as its base, and it consists of 12 vowel and 35 consonant letters, including U+1901. In digital text, LIMBU LETTER KA serves a vital role in accurately conveying the intended meaning by representing the initial consonant sound 'ka' or 'k' in words and phrases of the Limbu language. As a part of an underrepresented language script, U+1901 contributes to the preservation and promotion of linguistic and cultural heritage for the Limbu community.
