Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ဍ has the Unicode code point U+100D. 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+100D to binary:
00010000 00001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+100D represents the Myanmar letter "DDa" (ဒ်), a member of the Myanmar script used primarily in the Burmese language. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for constructing words and phrases in Myanmar's written form. Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is a Southeast Asian country where the Burmese language is predominantly spoken by its people. The script, composed of 35 consonants and 14 vowels, has evolved over centuries and is now standardized using Unicode to facilitate accurate digital representation and exchange of text across various platforms and devices. U+100D plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity and linguistic integrity of the Burmese language in the digital age, as it helps maintain the correct pronunciation, meaning, and context of words within written Burmese texts.
