Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႘ has the Unicode code point U+1098. 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+1098 to binary:
00010000 10011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+1098, MYANMAR SHAN DIGIT EIGHT, is a vital component of the Myanmar Shan script, which is used primarily in the Shan language spoken by the Shan people of Myanmar and other countries in Southeast Asia. This digit represents the numerical value eight in written form, allowing users to express quantities or sequence information within text. In digital text, U+1098 contributes to accurate representation and communication in both casual and formal contexts, such as literature, documentation, and mathematical expressions. While this character may be less familiar to non-Shan speakers, it plays an essential role in maintaining the linguistic identity of the Shan community and facilitating effective communication within their culture.
