Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႙ has the Unicode code point U+1099. 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+1099 to binary:
00010000 10011001
. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+1099 represents the MYANMAR SHAN DIGIT NINE in the Myanmar Shan script, a writing system primarily used for the Shan language spoken by the Shan people of Myanmar. This digit is a crucial element in digital text for its role in numerical representation and calculation within the context of the Shan numeral system. Its usage can be found predominantly in the Shan-speaking regions of Myanmar, particularly in areas such as Taunggyi, Kengtung, Lashio, and Mandalay. While this character may seem unique or exotic to those unfamiliar with the script, it plays a vital role in facilitating communication and information sharing within the Shan-speaking community. The Myanmar Shan script, which encompasses characters ranging from U+1090 to U+109F, was introduced in 2008 as part of an effort to standardize the various regional scripts used in Myanmar, thus improving literacy and promoting cultural exchange.
