Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཉ has the Unicode code point U+0F49. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0F49 to binary:
00001111 01001001
. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F49 represents the Tibetan letter "Nya" (ཉ), which is an essential element of the Tibetan script used for writing the Tibetan language. This ancient script is primarily used in the religious, historical, and cultural contexts of Tibetan Buddhism and literature. The Tibetan language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family of languages and has its roots in ancient India, with the script adapting from the Indian Brahmi script over a millennium ago. In digital text, U+0F49 plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity for users who engage with Tibetan literature, religious texts, or study the language itself. It is one of the thousands of characters within the Unicode Standard that facilitate accurate representation and encoding of text across diverse languages and scripts, promoting global communication and understanding.
