Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༽ has the Unicode code point U+0F3D. 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+0F3D to binary:
00001111 00111101
. 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 10111100 10111101

Description
U+0F3D, the Tibetan Mark Ang Khang Gyas, is a significant character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in representing the Tibetan language digitally. This unique mark is an essential component of the Tibetan script, which has been used for centuries to record and transmit Buddhist teachings and literature. In digital text, U+0F3D serves as a modifier character, modifying the sound or meaning of adjacent characters within the Tibetan script. Its usage helps preserve and promote the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Tibetan people while facilitating communication in the modern digital world. The accurate representation of this character, along with other Tibetan characters, is vital for the ongoing preservation of Tibetan literature and the promotion of global understanding and appreciation of its rich history and culture.
