Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༔ has the Unicode code point U+0F14. 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+0F14 to binary:
00001111 00010100
. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0F14 represents the "TIBETAN MARK GTER TSHEG" in digital text. This unique mark is an essential component of the Tibetan script, a writing system used predominantly by the Tibetan people in the regions of Tibet and Bhutan. In a linguistic context, the Gter Tsheg mark serves as a modifier or diacritic that helps modify the primary characters' meaning. In the digital realm, the Gter Tsheg character is used to faithfully represent this specific aspect of the Tibetan script in applications such as text editors and websites. This accurate representation ensures the proper communication of ideas and information across different platforms and supports the preservation of Tibetan language and culture. The usage of U+0F14 within digital text emphasizes the importance of Unicode, a universal character encoding standard that facilitates the correct display of characters from diverse scripts and languages in various devices and software.
