Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ဗ has the Unicode code point U+1017. 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+1017 to binary:
00010000 00010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+1017 represents the Myanmar letter "Ba" (ဘ), a consonant in the Myanmar script used to write the Myanmar language, also known as Burmese. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in preserving and transmitting written content accurately across different platforms and devices. The Myanmar script is an abugida system, where each letter carries both consonantal and vocalic values, making U+1017 essential for correct representation of the language. Myanmar, located in Southeast Asia, has a rich cultural history and the Burmese language is its official and widely spoken language, used by millions of people. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1017 ensures that the Myanmar script is represented consistently and accurately in digital texts, supporting the communication needs of the Burmese-speaking population worldwide.
