Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character က has the Unicode code point U+1000. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1000 to binary:
00010000 00000000
. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1000 represents MYANMAR LETTER KA, a key letter in the Myanmar alphabet. This script is predominantly used for writing the Burmese language, which is the official language of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). In digital text, it serves its typical role by enabling accurate representation and encoding of Myanmar's rich linguistic heritage. MYANMAR LETTER KA specifically denotes a consonant that holds significant cultural and linguistic value within the Burmese language system. Its correct usage contributes to the precise communication of ideas, thoughts, and information in Myanmar's diverse and expressive writing system. The character U+1000, along with other Unicode characters, plays a vital role in supporting digital text processing, storage, and transmission of texts written in the Burmese language, thereby fostering better understanding, accessibility, and inclusivity of linguistic diversity online.
