Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༣ has the Unicode code point U+0F23. 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+0F23 to binary:
00001111 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+0F23 is a unique character known as the Tibetan Digit Three in the Unicode standard. It plays a crucial role in digital text pertaining to the Tibetan language, serving as one of ten Tibetan digits (U+0F20 to U+0F29). These numerals are essential for transcribing numerical values and quantities within this linguistic context. The Tibetan script has its own distinct set of numerals that predate the adoption of Arabic numerals in other regions, offering an insight into the ancient writing system still prevalent in modern times. These digits are particularly useful in religious texts, historical records, and contemporary communication in Tibetan-speaking communities, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of this region. In summary, U+0F23, the Tibetan Digit Three, is an important character within digital text for the Tibetan language, contributing to its distinct numeral system and overall expressiveness.
