Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཡ has the Unicode code point U+0F61. 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+0F61 to binary:
00001111 01100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F61 represents the Tibetan letter "Ya". In digital text, this character is commonly used to transcribe the Tibetan language, which is spoken by millions of people in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and in other regions where Tibetans reside. The Tibetan script is an abugida system, similar to the Devanagari script, where each letter has a basic consonant sound and an inherent vowel sound that can be altered by diacritical marks. U+0F61, the Tibetan letter "Ya", signifies the consonant-vowel pair "ya" in the Tibetan language. This character plays a crucial role in preserving and transmitting Tibetan literature, religious texts, and cultural heritage through digital means, as it enables accurate representation of the original script in various platforms, applications, and devices.
