Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱏ has the Unicode code point U+1C4F. 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+1C4F to binary:
00011100 01001111. 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 10110001 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+1C4F, known as Lepcha Letter DDA, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Lepcha script, an alphasyllabic writing system primarily used in the Sikkim region of India and the adjacent areas of Nepal. The Lepcha script is one of the oldest surviving indigenous scripts of the region and has been historically utilized for various purposes such as religious texts, historical documents, and traditional literature. U+1C4F represents a phonemic unit in the Lepcha script, encoding a specific sound or syllable when used in conjunction with other characters in a text. In digital applications, it enables accurate representation of the Lepcha language, preserving its linguistic integrity for future generations and facilitating cross-cultural communication and understanding. The inclusion of U+1C4F and other Lepcha script characters in Unicode reflects the growing recognition and support for diverse scripts and languages from around the world.
