Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႑ has the Unicode code point U+1091. 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+1091 to binary:
00010000 10010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1091 represents the Myanmar Shan digit one (၁) in digital text. It plays a vital role in the Myanmar Shan numeral system, which is used predominantly by the Shan people, an ethnic group native to Southeast Asia. This digit serves as the basis for constructing other numerical values and is essential for writing numbers in Myanmar's Shan script. U+1091 is part of the Extended Arabic Presentation Forms block in Unicode, which contains characters specifically designed for use with the Arabic script. By accurately representing the number one in the Myanmar Shan script, this character contributes to cultural preservation and enables effective communication within the Shan-speaking community.
