Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၾ has the Unicode code point U+107E. 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+107E to binary:
00010000 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+107E, known as MYANMAR LETTER SHAN FA, is a symbol from the Myanmar (Burmese) script, specifically the Shan language. It is used in digital text to represent the phoneme /fa/ or the consonant-vowel combination Fa, depending on its position and context within a word. This character plays an important role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Shan people, who are one of the largest ethnic groups in Myanmar. U+107E is part of the Myanmar script block (Unicode range 10300-10374), which was added to Unicode version 5.2.0 in 2008 to support the Burmese language and its related scripts. The accurate use of this character and others like it is vital for maintaining the integrity of digital texts in these languages, ensuring that future generations can continue to access and understand their rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
