Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ၌ has the Unicode code point U+104C. 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+104C to binary:
00010000 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+104C, known as MYANMAR SYMBOL LOCATIVE, plays a significant role in the Myanmar (Burmese) script. In digital text, it serves as a specific indicator of location or direction, much like punctuation marks do in other scripts. This character is part of the "Myanmar" block in Unicode, which contains characters for the modern Burmese script used in the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar (previously known as Burma). The Locative marker assists in providing context and enhancing readability in text, particularly when used in conjunction with other symbols and words. Although U+104C may not be universally recognized outside of Myanmar, its use contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the region and is essential for accurate digital representation of the language.
