Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ဓ has the Unicode code point U+1013. 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+1013 to binary:
00010000 00010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+1013, known as MYANMAR LETTER DHA, is a significant symbol in the Myanmar script. It represents the phoneme /d̰/, which is a voiceless alveolar stop in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In digital text, this character enables accurate representation of the Myanmar language, which is predominantly spoken in Myanmar (Burma) and by Myanmar diaspora communities worldwide. As a fundamental element in written Myanmar, U+1013 contributes to the precise recording and transmission of the Burmese language in digital platforms. This character is essential for linguistic research, cultural preservation, and facilitating communication among Myanmar speakers. As part of the ISO/IEC 10646 standard, it supports global interoperability and accessibility for users of different languages and devices, promoting diversity and inclusivity in digital text representation.
