Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༬ has the Unicode code point U+0F2C. 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+0F2C to binary:
00001111 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+0F2C, the Tibetan Digit Half Three character, plays a significant role in the Unicode system by representing one of the half digits used in the Tibetan script. In digital text, this character is commonly employed to convey numerical values or quantities in Tibetan-language documents and publications. The Tibetan script, predominantly used by the Tibetan people and Buddhists worldwide, has a unique system of numerals that distinguishes it from other scripts. U+0F2C, specifically, represents half three, denoting a value halfway between two whole digits (3 and 2). This character is crucial for maintaining accuracy in translations and preserving the cultural context when working with digital Tibetan texts. Furthermore, the inclusion of such characters reflects the Unicode Consortium's commitment to supporting diverse writing systems and promoting linguistic inclusivity in the digital world.
