Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྄ has the Unicode code point U+0F84. 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+0F84 to binary:
00001111 10000100. 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 10111110 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0F84 represents the Tibetan Mark Halanta (࿄). In digital text, this character plays a vital role in accurately conveying the richness and nuances of the Tibetan language, which has a distinct script system with unique typographic requirements. The Tibetan writing system is derived from the ancient Brahmi script, and it contains various special marks and diacritics to modify the base characters for specific linguistic and phonetic purposes. The Halanta mark is used in conjunction with other Tibetan characters to indicate a long vowel sound or a change in consonant pronunciation. As Unicode strives to accommodate and support all languages, including minority and less-resourced ones, the inclusion of such special marks as U+0F84 ensures the accurate representation of the Tibetan language in digital text, thereby preserving its cultural heritage and facilitating communication among Tibetan speakers.
