Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ࿙ has the Unicode code point U+0FD9. 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+0FD9 to binary:
00001111 11011001. 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 10111111 10011001

Description
U+0FD9, known as the Tibetan Mark Leading Mchan Rtagss, is a character in Unicode's Tibetan script block. In digital text, it typically serves as a leading accent mark for certain consonants in the Tibetan language. The symbol plays a significant role in accurately representing the phonetic and phonological features of spoken Tibetan. This accent marks the retroflexion of specific consonants, which is essential for maintaining the correct pronunciation and meaning of words within the Tibetan language's context. U+0FD9 is crucial to digital text representation of the Tibetan language due to its unique phonetic structure that requires accurate and precise transcription in written form.
