Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႇ has the Unicode code point U+1087. 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+1087 to binary:
00010000 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1087 represents the MYANMAR SIGN SHAN TONE-2, a crucial component of the Myanmar (Burmese) script. This unique character plays a vital role in digital text, as it denotes one of the seven primary tones used in the Shan language, which is predominantly spoken in the Shan State of Myanmar and some regions of China and Thailand. The Shan script is an abugida system, where each letter carries phonetic and tonal information, making U+1087 indispensable for accurate representation of text. In digital communication, this character ensures the faithful transmission and interpretation of intended meaning in written Shan language. As a typography expert, I emphasize the importance of accurately using Unicode characters like U+1087 to preserve the cultural, linguistic, and technical context of diverse languages and scripts.
