Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၼ has the Unicode code point U+107C. 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+107C to binary:
00010000 01111100
. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+107C, MYANMAR LETTER SHAN NA, is an essential component of the Myanmar script. In digital text, this character is used to represent a specific phonetic sound or letter in the Myanmar language. The Myanmar language, also known as Burmese, belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of languages and is predominantly spoken in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. U+107C specifically represents the "Shan Na" sound, which is unique to the Shan language, a major language in Myanmar spoken by the Shan people, who make up a significant proportion of the population in this Southeast Asian country. The Unicode Standard ensures that characters like MYANMAR LETTER SHAN NA can be accurately represented and processed in digital text systems, thus preserving the linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of countries like Myanmar.
