Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ။ has the Unicode code point U+104B. 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+104B to binary:
00010000 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+104B is known as the MYANMAR SIGN SECTION. In its typical usage within digital text, it serves to divide sections of text in Myanmar's writing system. It acts as a paragraph marker similar to '¶' or '§' in English, but specifically designed for use with Myanmar's unique typography. This character is particularly significant in the context of the Myanmar language and its digital representation. It plays a crucial role in maintaining proper text formatting and readability within documents written in this language. Despite the technical nature of this symbol, it also holds cultural importance, as it reflects the intricacies and nuances of the Myanmar writing system. The MYANMAR SIGN SECTION is part of Unicode block Myanmar which includes all characters needed for rendering text in Myanmar script, thus making it an essential element for accurate digital representation of this language.
