Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤕ has the Unicode code point U+1915. 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+1915 to binary:
00011001 00010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1915 represents the Limbu letter 'YA'. This letter is predominantly used in the Limbu script, which is employed for the Limbu language, a linguistic minority spoken by the Limbu people of Nepal and Sikkim. In digital text, it serves its standard function to convey the phonological or orthographical features of the Limbu language, enabling accurate communication and representation across various platforms and devices. As part of the Unicode Standard, it adheres to the strict guidelines of encoding and decoding characters for seamless data exchange between different software applications, operating systems, and devices. By including U+1915 in digital text systems, linguists, ethnologists, and researchers can effectively study and maintain the cultural heritage of the Limbu people while promoting the global understanding and appreciation of diverse languages and scripts.
