Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤡ has the Unicode code point U+1921. 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+1921 to binary:
00011001 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1921, known as the Limbu Vowel Sign I, holds a significant position in the Limbu language's typography. This character is primarily utilized in digital text as a constituent of the Limbu script, which is used to write the Limbu language, mainly spoken by the Limbu people inhabiting the eastern region of Nepal. The Limbu Vowel Sign I, among other vowel signs in the script, contributes to the accurate representation and phonetic clarity of words within this unique linguistic system. The Unicode Consortium, responsible for the encoding of characters in the Unicode Standard, includes U+1921 as part of its efforts to support a wide range of languages worldwide. By being assigned a Unicode code point, U+1921 ensures that the Limbu Vowel Sign I can be accurately represented and processed by modern software applications, enabling seamless digital communication in the Limbu language. Despite being less widely known globally compared to other scripts, the significance of the Limbu Vowel Sign I and its role in preserving the linguistic heritage of the Limbu people should not be underestimated. It serves as a symbol of cultural identity, fostering the continued use and development of the Limbu language within Nepal and among the Limbu diaspora worldwide.
