Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၈ has the Unicode code point U+1048. 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+1048 to binary:
00010000 01001000. 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 10000001 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1048 represents the Myanmar digit eight (၈) in the Myanmar script, which is part of the extended range of characters for Myanmar (ဒီထု စာကြုံတူ မြန်မာ) under the Unicode Standard. This digit is utilized in digital text to represent the numerical value eight within the context of the Myanmar numeral system, which has a unique structure and glyphs compared to those found in other scripts such as Arabic or Devanagari. The Myanmar script, also known as "ဒီထု စာကြုံတူ" (Dehto Sarkhowthu), is the official script of the Burmese language and is predominantly used for written communication in Myanmar. It has a rich history, dating back to the 11th century when it was adapted from the Mon script, which itself is derived from the Pallava script of South India. U+1048 plays a crucial role in the accurate representation of numerical values within textual content and computational applications that support the Myanmar language and its unique numeral system.
