Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤅ has the Unicode code point U+1905. 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+1905 to binary:
00011001 00000101. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+1905, also known as LIMBU LETTER NGA, holds significant importance in the Limbu language, which is spoken primarily by the Limbu people of Eastern Nepal. This particular character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting their rich cultural heritage through digital text. The Limbu script, written from left to right, is an abugida system where each consonant letter represents a syllable, including both a consonant and an inherent vowel "a". U+1905 specifically represents the sound /ŋ/, which is similar to the English "ng" sound, but has distinct phonetic qualities in Limbu. The character's inclusion in Unicode helps ensure that digital content created in the Limbu language can be accurately displayed and maintained across various platforms, thus supporting linguistic diversity and fostering cultural understanding globally.
