Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၻ has the Unicode code point U+107B. 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+107B to binary:
00010000 01111011
. 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 10111011

Description
U+107B MYANMAR LETTER SHAN DA is a character from the Myanmar script, which is used to write the Burmese language, one of the major languages spoken in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), a Southeast Asian country. In digital text, this character typically serves its role as part of an alphabet, representing a specific phoneme or sound within the Burmese language. The Myanmar script is a syllabary, meaning each character represents a syllable rather than a single consonant or vowel. The Shan Da character specifically represents the sound /də/. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, the Burmese language is spoken by millions of people in Myanmar and other countries with significant Myanmar populations. While the use of U+107B MYANMAR LETTER SHAN DA may be less widespread outside of Myanmar, it plays a vital role within the language as part of the rich tapestry of linguistic diversity. Technically, Unicode is an encoding system that assigns unique code points to characters from all over the world, enabling digital devices and software applications to display text in various languages correctly. U+107B MYANMAR LETTER SHAN DA's inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its accurate representation on a wide range of devices and platforms, facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage for future generations.
