Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤥ has the Unicode code point U+1925. 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+1925 to binary:
00011001 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+1925, also known as LIMBU VOWEL SIGN OO, holds a significant position within the realm of typography and Unicode. This character primarily serves its purpose in digital text by representing the sound 'oo' in the Limbu language, which is spoken predominantly in Nepal. The Limbu script is an abugida system, in which each consonant is accompanied by a specific vowel sign. Consequently, this Unicode character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and conveying the nuances of the Limbu language in written form. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1925 contributes to the comprehensive representation of various languages and scripts across digital platforms, fostering inclusivity and effective communication on a global scale.
