Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཎ has the Unicode code point U+0F4E. 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+0F4E to binary:
00001111 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+0F4E, known as the "TIBETAN LETTER NNA", plays a significant role in digital text representation for the Tibetan script. It is an essential character in the written language of the Tibetan people, who have a rich and ancient culture. This unique character contributes to the linguistic diversity found within Unicode, which strives to include characters from virtually all writing systems across the globe. As part of the Tibetan script, U+0F4E represents one of the 26 basic consonant letters in the system. The Tibetan script is written from left to right and follows a logographic structure, meaning each character often represents a syllable or morpheme rather than a simple phoneme as in alphabetic systems like English. This logographic nature of the script makes it an important aspect of Tibetan culture, literature, and religious texts. The Unicode standard ensures that characters such as U+0F4E can be accurately encoded and displayed across various platforms and applications. This not only aids in maintaining linguistic integrity but also supports efforts in digital preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage for the Tibetan people. In summary, U+0F4E is an indispensable component of digital text related to the Tibetan language, reflecting its significant cultural, linguistic, and technical context.
