Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤂ has the Unicode code point U+1902. 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+1902 to binary:
00011001 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1902 represents the Limbu letter 'Kha' (लिम्बु क), which is used in the Limbu language, a minority language spoken predominantly by the Limbu people of Eastern Nepal. This script is based on the Devanagari script and forms part of the Unicode's Block "Limbu" (U+1900 to U+194F). In digital text, the Limbu letter 'Kha' typically serves its phonetic function, helping to form words that accurately represent pronunciation in the Limbu language. While not as widely used as other scripts, it plays a crucial role within the Limbu community for written communication, literature, and cultural preservation.
