Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤱ has the Unicode code point U+1931. 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+1931 to binary:
00011001 00110001
. 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 10110001
LIMBU SMALL LETTER NGA·U+1931

Description
The Unicode character U+1931 represents the Limbu Small Letter Ngā (ហ), a script used predominantly in the Limbu language spoken by the Limbu people of Eastern Nepal. This character holds significance as it is an essential component of the Limbu script, which is part of the Indian subcontinent's vast array of indigenous writing systems. In digital text, U+1931 serves its typical role in accurately representing the Limbu Small Letter Ngā to maintain linguistic integrity and facilitate communication within the Limbu-speaking community. While the character may be less common in global communications, it remains a crucial element for preserving the cultural identity and linguistic heritage of the Limbu people.
