Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ད has the Unicode code point U+0F51. 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+0F51 to binary:
00001111 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F51 represents the Tibetan letter "DA" (ཟ), which is an integral part of the Tibetan script used for writing in the Tibetan language. As a syllable-based script, each character typically represents a consonant-vowel combination. In digital text, U+0F51 serves as a unique identifier for this specific character, allowing for accurate representation and encoding across various platforms and applications. The Tibetan script, which is part of the Indic script family, has been used for over a thousand years to transcribe Buddhist texts, literature, and other forms of communication in Tibetan-speaking regions. Today, it continues to play a crucial role in preserving Tibet's cultural heritage and maintaining linguistic diversity.
