Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༮ has the Unicode code point U+0F2E. 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+0F2E to binary:
00001111 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+0F2E, known as TIBETAN DIGIT HALF FIVE, plays a significant role in the digital representation of Tibetan numerals. This character is used to denote the value halfway between five (5) and one (1), representing half-numerical values within the Tibetan numeral system. The use of this character is essential for accurately transcribing and translating historical, religious, and cultural texts that employ Tibetan script. In digital text, U+0F2E ensures proper representation and comprehension of numerical expressions in these materials. As a result, this character contributes to the preservation and dissemination of Tibetan cultural heritage and intellectual property.
