Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༌ has the Unicode code point U+0F0C. 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+0F0C to binary:
00001111 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+0F0C is the Unicode code point for "TIBETAN MARK DELIMITER TSHEG BSTAR." This character is typically used in digital text within the Tibetan script, a writing system primarily used to transcribe the Tibetan language. The Tibetic languages belong to the Sino-Tibetan family and are spoken by millions of people across regions such as Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and parts of India. This specific Unicode character plays a crucial role in delineating syllables or words in text written in the Tibetan script, which is written from left to right and does not use spaces like those in the Latin alphabet. The delimiter helps in distinguishing between different syllables in a word and maintaining the correct phonetic structure, making it an essential component of the language's digital representation.
