Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၿ has the Unicode code point U+107F. 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+107F to binary:
00010000 01111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+107F, also known as MYANMAR LETTER SHAN BA, is a typographical representation used primarily in digital texts that employ the Myanmar script. This character serves a vital role in accurately conveying linguistic information and maintaining cultural integrity within the Myanmar language. The Myanmar script itself, which encompasses several sub-scripts including Shan, is a rich tapestry of written expression originating from the Mon script, with roots dating back to the 5th century. U+107F specifically represents the phoneme /b/, and its usage in digital texts is essential for preserving linguistic accuracy and facilitating communication among native speakers of Myanmar languages. In technical terms, U+107F is part of the Myanmar Extended-A block within the Unicode Standard, which was designed to include additional characters needed for a complete representation of Myanmar languages, ensuring compatibility across different platforms and software.
