Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༱ has the Unicode code point U+0F31. 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+0F31 to binary:
00001111 00110001. 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:
11100000 10111100 10110001

Description
U+0F31 is the Unicode code point for the Tibetan Digit Half Eight character. This character is primarily used in the Tibetan script, which is the writing system of the Tibetan language. In digital text, this character serves as a numeral and plays a crucial role in expressing numerical values within texts that are written in Tibetan. The presence of U+0F31 in a text indicates that the content is likely to be either about the Tibetan culture, religion, or history, or it could be part of an academic or technical document discussing the Tibetan script and its unique features. U+0F31, along with other Unicode characters within the same range, contributes to the accuracy and authenticity of Tibetan language materials in digital form.
