Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཚ has the Unicode code point U+0F5A. 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+0F5A to binary:
00001111 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+0F5A is known as the "TIBETAN LETTER TSHA". In digital text, this glyph represents a specific phoneme in the Tibetan language. This letter is used to denote an alveolar stop, meaning it refers to a type of sound that occurs when airflow in the mouth is completely blocked by the tongue against the alveolar ridge, and then released. Its typical usage in digital text usually involves conveying the phonetic or semantic aspect of written Tibetan language texts, including literature, religious scriptures, and various forms of communications. As for its cultural, linguistic, and technical context, the Tibetan language is a part of the Tibeto-Burman family of languages and it is mainly spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, parts of India, and Bhutan. Unicode played an essential role in standardizing this character and others in the Tibetan script for accurate digital representation across different platforms and devices.
