Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ག has the Unicode code point U+0F42. 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+0F42 to binary:
00001111 01000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0F42 represents the Tibetan letter "Ga" (༄). In digital text, this character is typically used within the Tibetan script, which is primarily utilized for writing the Tibetan language. Tibetan script is a logosyllabic script, meaning each symbol corresponds to both a syllable and a meaning in the language. U+0F42, along with other characters in the Tibetan script block (U+0F00 to U+0FFF), plays an essential role in accurately representing the sounds and meanings of words in Tibetan texts for readers who are familiar with this writing system. The use of U+0F42 within digital text is critical for preserving the linguistic, cultural, and historical significance of Tibetan literature, religious texts, and modern documents.
