Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཀྵ has the Unicode code point U+0F69. 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+0F69 to binary:
00001111 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F69, known as the Tibetan Letter KSSA (KSA in some sources), is an essential component of the Tibetan script. It holds a significant role in digital text as it enables accurate representation and transmission of traditional Tibetan texts in various communication platforms and software applications. As part of the broader Unicode Standard, U+0F69 ensures consistent encoding and decoding across different devices and systems, thereby facilitating seamless interactions among users who rely on this unique script for their linguistic needs. Culturally, the Tibetan script is deeply rooted in the rich history and heritage of Tibetan culture and religion. The Tibetan language, which belongs to the Sino-Tibetan language family, has been used for centuries in Buddhist texts, literature, and religious practices. The KSSA character is an integral part of this tradition, contributing to the preservation and transmission of sacred knowledge, cultural identity, and historical narratives. In terms of linguistic context, U+0F69 is one of the 32 consonants in the Tibetan script, representing a specific phoneme or sound in the language. It comprises a combination of basic and derivative characters that make up the complex nature of the Tibetan writing system. The accurate representation of this character helps maintain the integrity of the Tibetan language, supporting its ongoing use for communication, education, and cultural preservation. Technically, U+0F69 follows the Unicode encoding system, which ensures interoperability between different devices, platforms, and applications. This standardization allows for the seamless exchange of information across various digital environments, promoting cross-platform accessibility and enabling greater inclusivity in global communication.
