Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤠ has the Unicode code point U+1920. 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+1920 to binary:
00011001 00100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+1920 LIMBU VOWEL SIGN A is a typographical character primarily used in the Limbu language, which is spoken by the Limbu people inhabiting the northeastern region of Nepal. This character holds significant linguistic importance, as it represents one of the five primary vowel signs in the Limbu script, an abugida system derived from the Devanagari script used for writing many other languages in South Asia. As a crucial element of the Limbu script, U+1920 LIMBU VOWEL SIGN A contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of the language's unique phonetic and semantic nuances. In digital text, its role is to denote the vowel sound 'a,' enabling users to transcribe and communicate effectively in Limbu across various electronic platforms and applications.
