Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤔ has the Unicode code point U+1914. 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+1914 to binary:
00011001 00010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+1914 represents the Limbu letter "MA". This letter is a key component of the Limbu script, which is used to write the Limbu language, primarily spoken in Eastern Nepal by the Limbu people. In digital text, U+1914 serves as a means to accurately and consistently represent this character across different platforms, devices, and software. The Limbu script has been officially encoded in Unicode since 2007, ensuring that it is supported by modern computing systems and enabling accurate digital representation of the language. This enables researchers, linguists, and speakers of the Limbu language to communicate and share information through written form, preserving their cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity on a global scale.
