Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⫝̸ has the Unicode code point U+2ADC. 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+2ADC to binary:
00101010 11011100. 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:
11100010 10101011 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+2ADC represents the FORKING symbol (༄). In digital text, this character is primarily used for typographical purposes in various scripts, particularly in the Tibetan script where it serves as a vowel-modifier or diacritic. It helps to modify the pronunciation of consonants by indicating a change in their sound when followed by certain vowels. The FORKING symbol is a crucial component of the Unified Tibetan Code for Information Interchange (UTS), which ensures proper text rendering and interpretation across different digital platforms and devices. Although U+2ADC does not have any direct cultural or linguistic significance, it plays an essential role in preserving the integrity and accuracy of the Tibetan language in digital formats, thus contributing to its rich literary tradition and cultural heritage.
