Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༧ has the Unicode code point U+0F27. 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+0F27 to binary:
00001111 00100111
. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0F27 represents the Tibetan digit seven (༗). It is commonly used in the Tibetan script system for numerical representation and counting purposes within digital text. This character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance as it forms part of the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, Bhutan, and parts of India. The Tibetan script, which has its roots dating back to the 7th century AD, is a syllabic writing system that employs the use of digits for numeral representation. In digital text, U+0F27 serves as a crucial element in transcribing numerical values and calculations accurately within Tibetan texts, literature, and computations, maintaining the rich linguistic heritage and preserving cultural knowledge for future generations.
