Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ဖ has the Unicode code point U+1016. 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+1016 to binary:
00010000 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1016, MYANMAR LETTER PHA, is a vital part of the Myanmar alphabet in digital text. It is employed to represent the phoneme /p/, a significant consonant sound in the Burmese language. This script is based on the ancient Mon script and has been adapted for use with the Latin script. U+1016 plays a critical role in preserving and promoting Myanmar's rich cultural heritage by facilitating accurate digital communication of the language, which is primarily spoken in Myanmar but also used by Burmese communities worldwide. It is an essential tool for linguistic research, translation services, and multilingual software development. In technical terms, U+1016 ensures consistent encoding and display across various platforms, making it crucial for preserving the accuracy of text data in digital formats.
