Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤶ has the Unicode code point U+1936. 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+1936 to binary:
00011001 00110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1936 represents the 'Limbú Small Letter Ma' in the Limbu script, which is primarily used for writing the Limbu language, spoken by over 300,000 people in eastern Nepal. As part of the Limbu alphabet, this character typically serves a role in digital text to convey meaning and nuance within the context of the Limbu language, enabling communication among native speakers. The Limbu script is an abugida system, where each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a', but vowels can be changed by modifying certain characters or adding diacritics. U+1936 holds cultural significance for the Limbu community as it reflects their unique linguistic identity and heritage in the digital age, where preservation of indigenous languages is essential for maintaining cultural diversity.
