Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༠ has the Unicode code point U+0F20. 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+0F20 to binary:
00001111 00100000
. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F20 represents the Tibetan digit zero (ༀ). This digit is primarily used in digital texts and documents related to the Tibetan language, which is spoken by over 6 million people in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, Bhutan, and parts of India. The Tibetan script has its own unique system of numerals that are distinct from those used in other scripts like Devanagari or Arabic. These numerals, including U+0F20, play a vital role in the representation of numerical values in the Tibetan language, allowing for precise communication in various aspects such as religion, literature, and everyday life. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character ensures accurate digital representation and facilitates interoperability across diverse platforms and applications.
