Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤦ has the Unicode code point U+1926. 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+1926 to binary:
00011001 00100110
. 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 10100110

Description
U+1926 is the Unicode character code for Limbu Vowel Sign AU. This vowel sign is primarily used in the Limbu script, which is employed to represent the Limbu language, spoken predominantly by the Limbu ethnic group in Eastern Nepal. The Limbu script, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan family of scripts, consists of 17 consonants and 8 vowel signs, with U+1926 being one of the vowel signs. In digital text, it helps to accurately transcribe the phonetic pronunciation of words in the Limbu language by indicating the presence and positioning of vowels within a word or phrase. U+1926 plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Limbu people, as well as facilitating communication and understanding among speakers of different languages through Unicode's standardized encoding system.
