Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ု has the Unicode code point U+102F. 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+102F to binary:
00010000 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+102F, also known as MYANMAR VOWEL SIGN U, is a critical component of the Myanmar (Burmese) script used in digital text communication. It serves as one of 36 vowel signs in this unique writing system, which features a combination of consonants and accompanying vowel symbols. In contrast to most alphabets that include individual vowels, Myanmar script relies on these diacritics placed above or below the base consonant character. U+102F specifically denotes the "U" sound, similar to the English 'u' but with distinct phonetic properties in the Burmese language. The usage of this character is essential for accurately conveying meaning and maintaining the linguistic integrity of texts written in Myanmar. As a result, U+102F plays a significant role in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among the millions of Myanmar speakers worldwide.
