Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤷ has the Unicode code point U+1937. 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+1937 to binary:
00011001 00110111
. 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 10110111
LIMBU SMALL LETTER RA·U+1937

Description
The Unicode character U+1937 represents the Limbu small letter "ra" in the Limbu script, which is primarily used for writing the Limbu language spoken in Eastern Nepal. This particular script belongs to the Indic family of scripts and was developed around the 18th century. In digital text, the character U+1937 serves a crucial role in preserving the linguistic identity of texts written in the Limbu language, enabling accurate representation and communication for speakers of this language in various online platforms. Although it is less widely known compared to other Indic scripts, the Limbu script has been gaining recognition due to growing interest in preserving and promoting lesser-known languages and their cultural heritage.
