Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤢ has the Unicode code point U+1922. 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+1922 to binary:
00011001 00100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+1922, known as the Limbu Vowel Sign U, holds a significant role within the Limbu language, which is primarily spoken in the Eastern region of Nepal. In digital text, this character serves to denote the vowel sound "U" in the Limbu script, enabling accurate representation and communication of the language's nuances. The Limbu script itself, consisting of 24 consonants, 8 vowels, and several other distinctive signs, is a unique writing system that has been in use for centuries. Although the character U+1922 may not be widely used outside of its linguistic context, it plays a crucial part in preserving and promoting Limbu's rich cultural heritage.
