Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཐ has the Unicode code point U+0F50. 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+0F50 to binary:
00001111 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F50 represents the Tibetan letter Tha (ཐ), which plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script. In the context of digital text, this character allows for accurate and efficient encoding of texts written in the Tibetan language, enabling effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage online. The Tibetan script is a logosyllabic writing system, meaning that each letter or syllable represents both a sound and a concept. U+0F50 (ཐ) specifically corresponds to the initial consonant cluster 'tha,' which is commonly used in many words within the Tibetan language. As a result, this character is essential for accurate transcription and translation of various Buddhist texts, literary works, and historical documents that employ the Tibetan script. Furthermore, U+0F50 contributes to the ongoing revitalization of the Tibetan language in the digital age, facilitating its use on modern platforms and devices while maintaining the integrity of its unique typographic features.
