Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༭ has the Unicode code point U+0F2D. 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+0F2D to binary:
00001111 00101101
. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0F2D, known as TIBETAN DIGIT HALF FOUR, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script. It is one of the 13 digit characters (U+0F2A to U+0F34) used in Unicode Block "Tibetan" which was added to the Unicode Standard in version 3.0 in 1998. The character accurately represents the half-numerical value of 'four' in the Tibetan script, enabling precise digital text encoding for Tibetan language materials and resources. The TIBETAN DIGIT HALF FOUR, along with other Tibetan characters, is vital for maintaining cultural integrity in digital communication and preservation of Tibetan literature, including sacred texts, historical documents, and contemporary works.
