Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႀ has the Unicode code point U+1080. 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+1080 to binary:
00010000 10000000. 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 10000010 10000000

Description
U+1080, also known as MYANMAR LETTER SHAN THA, is a character within the Unicode Standard that represents a distinct letter in Myanmar's Shan script, used predominantly in the Shan language spoken by millions of people in Myanmar and neighboring countries. This letter plays a crucial role in digital text representation, as it enables accurate and consistent encoding of Shan language texts across various platforms, applications, and devices. The character is part of the Unicode block 'Myanmar' (U+A9E0..U+A9FF) under the larger UTF-8 encoding system, which supports a wide range of languages and scripts for global communication. In terms of cultural significance, the Shan script has been used to write various literary works, religious texts, and historical documents, reflecting the rich history and heritage of the Shan people. The use of U+1080 in digital texts helps preserve and promote this linguistic and cultural heritage while also facilitating communication and information exchange among the global Shan-speaking community.
