Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ီ has the Unicode code point U+102E. 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+102E to binary:
00010000 00101110. 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 10000000 10101110

Description
U+102E, commonly known as MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN II, plays a crucial role in the Myanmar language, which is predominantly used in Myanmar (Burma), Southeast Asia. This character serves as one of 38 vowel signs utilized in the Myanmar script. In digital text, it typically appears alongside consonant characters to indicate the presence of a specific vowel sound within words, much like how Latin script uses letters such as 'a', 'e', and 'i' for vowels. The Myanmar script, which is derived from the Monastic Pāli script traditionally employed in Theravada Buddhist texts, features an intricate system of interlocking consonant-vowel characters to represent the sounds of the Myanmar language. As such, U+102E contributes significantly to the accurate representation and communication of the Myanmar language in digital environments.
