Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཁ has the Unicode code point U+0F41. 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+0F41 to binary:
00001111 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F41, known as the Tibetan Letter Kha, is an essential component of the Tibetan language. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing written Tibetan, enabling global communication and preservation of cultural heritage. The Tibetan script, which uses a unique system of logographic characters, has been in use since the 7th century AD. U+0F41 specifically represents the consonant "Kha," which is pronounced like the English "k" sound. This character is used within the context of the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, as well as by Tibetan communities in Bhutan, India, and Nepal. The usage of U+0F41 and other Unicode characters contributes to the preservation and revitalization of the Tibetan language and culture, as well as fosters cultural exchange and understanding across linguistic boundaries.
