Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၚ has the Unicode code point U+105A. 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+105A to binary:
00010000 01011010
. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+105A, known as MYANMAR LETTER MON NGA, plays a vital role in the Myanmar (Burmese) script. This character represents the consonant "Nga" which is a voiced velar nasal stop found in the Myanmar language. U+105A is used extensively in digital text to transcribe and display Myanmar literature, signage, and communication accurately. The use of this character and other Unicode characters from the Myanmar script is critical for maintaining linguistic and cultural integrity when translating texts or developing software that supports the Myanmar language. As more people around the world engage with Myanmar culture and content, U+105A and its counterparts become increasingly essential to ensure proper representation and understanding of this rich language and its unique written form.
