Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ှ has the Unicode code point U+103E. 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+103E to binary:
00010000 00111110. 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 10000000 10111110

Description
U+103E, known as MYANMAR CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL HA, is a significant character in the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation for the Myanmar language. The Myanmar script is used to write the official language of Myanmar (Burmese), which is spoken by over 32 million people in Myanmar and other countries with Burmese expatriate communities. This character specifically represents a medial consonant in the Myanmar script system, indicating a specific sound or phonetic value within words and phrases. Its accurate representation in digital text is crucial for preserving the linguistic integrity of written communication in Myanmar, as well as facilitating search engine optimization (SEO) for content containing the Burmese language. In summary, U+103E serves as a critical building block for accurately conveying the nuances of spoken and written Myanmar language in digital text.
