Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༶ has the Unicode code point U+0F36. 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+0F36 to binary:
00001111 00110110
. 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 10110110

Description
U+0F36, the Tibetan Mark Caret - Dzud Rtags Bzhimig Can, is a specialized Unicode character primarily employed in digital text related to the Tibetan script. This unique symbol plays a crucial role in the representation of Tibetan phonetics and grammar, particularly in the Dzud (or Zhuan) Rtags Bzhimig Can system of the Dge-lugs tradition. The character is essential for accurately transcribing certain sounds and syllables that are not found in other Tibetan script systems. As a result, it contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Tibetan language. In the context of digital text, this character allows for precise and accurate translation, transcription, and study of Tibetan literature, religious texts, and scholarly works.
