Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ႃ has the Unicode code point U+1083. 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+1083 to binary:
00010000 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+1083, the MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN SHAN AA, is a crucial character in the Myanmar (Burmese) script. It primarily serves to represent the vowel sound "aa" within the Shan language, one of the 115 recognized ethnic languages in Myanmar. The Shan language is predominantly spoken by the Shan people, an ethnolinguistic group residing mainly in eastern and central Myanmar, as well as parts of China's Yunnan province and Thailand's Chiang Mai region. In digital text, U+1083 assists in maintaining accuracy and preserving linguistic nuances by enabling the precise representation of vowel sounds. The character adheres to Unicode standards, a coding system that designates a unique number for every character, ensuring compatibility across different platforms and applications. As such, U+1083 plays an indispensable role in facilitating communication and preserving cultural identity within the Shan-speaking communities.
