Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤤ has the Unicode code point U+1924. 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+1924 to binary:
00011001 00100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1924, also known as LIMBU VOWEL SIGN AI, is a key component of the Limbu script, which belongs to the Indic family of scripts. This particular character serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the "ai" vowel sound in the Limbu language, primarily spoken in the Limbu region of Eastern Nepal. The Limbu script, with its unique blend of Devanagari and Tibetan influences, has been officially recognized as one of the 12 national languages of Nepal. In terms of linguistic context, the Limbu language is part of the larger Sino-Tibetan language family, which includes many diverse languages spoken across a broad geographical area spanning China, India, and the Himalayan region. As digital communication and technology continue to expand globally, characters like U+1924 become increasingly important in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating communication among native speakers of the Limbu language.
