Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤖ has the Unicode code point U+1916. 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+1916 to binary:
00011001 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1916, also known as the Limbu Letter Ra, is a character predominantly used in digital text within the Limbu language. The Limbu script, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan family of scripts, is primarily spoken by the Limbu people of Nepal and Sikkim, India. In its typical usage, U+1916 represents the consonant sound "r" with a specific phonetic quality that is unique to the Limbu language. This character is crucial for accurate transcription and communication in digital formats for Limbu speakers, preserving their linguistic heritage and promoting cultural understanding. As part of a broader effort to support and encourage the use of lesser-known scripts and languages, Unicode provides a platform for characters like U+1916 to be included and utilized in various digital platforms and applications, ensuring the survival and accessibility of diverse linguistic expressions.
