Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཪ has the Unicode code point U+0F6A. 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+0F6A to binary:
00001111 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+0F6A is a Tibetan letter known as "TIBETAN LETTER FIXED-FORM RA". This Unicode character represents the phonetic sound "rA" in the Tibetan script, which is used to transcribe and write the Tibetan language. The Tibetan script is primarily used by Tibetans in the regions of Tibet, Bhutan, and among Tibetan diaspora communities worldwide. The character plays a significant role in digital text for communication, literature, religious texts, and education in these regions. The fixed-form RA differs from other Tibetan characters in that it is part of the fixed-form script style, which was developed in the 17th century to standardize and simplify the writing system. This allows for more efficient writing and easier reading comprehension. The fixed-form RA is used alongside other fixed-form letters to create words and sentences, playing a crucial role in preserving and propagating Tibetan culture, literature, and religion. In addition to its use in written communication, U+0F6A has been incorporated into digital systems such as text editors, word processors, and websites to support the display and input of Tibetan text. This ensures that the rich cultural heritage of Tibet is accessible and preserved in the digital age.
