Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཨ has the Unicode code point U+0F68. 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+0F68 to binary:
00001111 01101000. 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 10111101 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F68, also known as TIBETAN LETTER A, holds a significant position in the Tibetan script. As one of the 31 consonant letters in the script, it forms the basis for creating syllables by combining with vowel letters. In digital text, U+0F68 serves as an essential building block for encoding and processing Tibetan language content. This character, along with the entire Tibetan script, is rooted in the ancient Brahmi script that originated in India. Over time, it evolved to accommodate the phonetic intricacies of the Tibetan language, which is predominantly spoken by millions of people living in Tibet and other regions across the Himalayas. In terms of technical context, U+0F68 and other characters in the Tibetan script are part of the Unicode Standard, enabling global interoperability and exchange of text data between various devices and platforms. The standardization of this character is crucial for preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Tibetan culture, while also facilitating communication among its speakers across the world.
