Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༸ has the Unicode code point U+0F38. 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+0F38 to binary:
00001111 00111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F38 represents the "TIBETAN MARK CHE MGO" in digital text. This character is an essential component of the Tibetan writing system, which uses a unique script comprising various phonetic symbols and markers. In its typical usage, the Che Mgo mark serves as a diacritical sign used to modify the basic form of other Tibetan characters. It primarily alters the sound value of the following consonant in words, imparting a specific phonological distinction. Tibetan language and script are closely linked with the unique cultural and linguistic heritage of Tibet, which has a rich history spanning thousands of years. The Tibetan script, characterized by its distinctive cursive style, was developed in the 7th century AD and has since evolved to accommodate the needs of modern communication. In a technical context, Unicode standardization ensures that U+0F38 can be accurately represented and displayed across different platforms and devices, promoting interoperability and accessibility for users who engage with Tibetan text. The character's accurate encoding in digital text facilitates the preservation of linguistic identity and cultural heritage, fostering a broader understanding of diverse global languages.
