Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character သ has the Unicode code point U+101E. 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+101E to binary:
00010000 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+101E represents the Myanmar letter "SA" (ဆ), which is part of the Myanmar script used in the Myanmar language, also known as Burmese. This script is primarily employed for writing the Myanmar language, one of the major languages spoken by over 30 million people in Myanmar and other ethnic Burmese communities globally. The character U+101E typically serves a role in digital text to accurately represent the phonetic or semantic properties of the corresponding sound or concept in the Myanmar language, maintaining cultural integrity and legibility for speakers and learners of this language. In terms of linguistic context, the Myanmar script is based on the Mon script, which was adapted from the ancient Brahmi script, making it unique among the Indo-Ayan scripts. As part of Unicode, U+101E ensures interoperability and uniformity across digital platforms, allowing for consistent representation and sharing of text in Myanmar and among its global audience.
