Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༼ has the Unicode code point U+0F3C. 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+0F3C to binary:
00001111 00111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+0F3C is the Unicode character code for the Tibetan Mark Ang Khang Gyon (ཉྭ). In digital text, this character typically serves as a diacritical mark in the Tibetan script, which is an abugida used primarily in Tibet and by Tibetan-speaking communities. The Tibetan script is part of the Indic script family, and the Ang Khang Gyon mark specifically helps modify the base character's sound or meaning. This character holds cultural significance as it reflects the rich linguistic history of the Tibetan language, which has been written using a unique script for over 1,300 years. As a result, U+0F3C plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the literature, religious texts, and modern communications within the Tibetan-speaking community.
