Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character བ has the Unicode code point U+0F56. 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+0F56 to binary:
00001111 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0F56 represents the Tibetan letter "BA". In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in encoding and displaying written Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken by millions of people in regions like Tibet, Bhutan, and parts of India. As one of the 21 letters of the Tibetan script, U+0F56 contributes to the proper representation and understanding of literary texts, religious manuscripts, and historical documents in this rich cultural context. The Tibetan language is part of the Tibetan-Burmese language family and has its own unique writing system that has been used for over a thousand years. In addition to literature and religious works, U+0F56 and other Tibetan characters are also important for linguistic research, translation, and preservation of cultural heritage.
