Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၪ has the Unicode code point U+106A. 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+106A to binary:
00010000 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+106A, known as MYANMAR SIGN WESTERN PWO KAREN TONE-2, is an essential element in digital text, particularly within the Myanmar and Western Pwo Karen languages. This character serves a critical role in conveying tone and pitch variations that are crucial for accurate communication in these languages. In a linguistic context, U+106A allows native speakers to differentiate between various meanings of a word based on its tone, facilitating precise expression and understanding. Its technical significance lies in the Unicode Standard's aim to represent characters from all written languages, ensuring global accessibility and interoperability across digital platforms. By including U+106A and other similar characters, the Unicode Standard fosters an inclusive environment for diverse cultures and languages to thrive in our increasingly connected world.
