Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཅ has the Unicode code point U+0F45. 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+0F45 to binary:
00001111 01000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0F45 is a Tibetan letter, representing the consonant "CA" (ཊ) in the Tibetan script. In digital text, this character plays a vital role as part of the written Tibetan language, which is predominantly used by the ethnic Tibetans and Sherpa people residing in regions such as Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India's Sikkim. The Tibetan script was derived from the Brahmi script, and its unique form is deeply rooted in the region's rich cultural history. The use of U+0F45 and other Tibetan characters enables accurate representation of the Tibetan language in digital media, preserving the linguistic heritage for future generations.
