Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༐ has the Unicode code point U+0F10. 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+0F10 to binary:
00001111 00010000. 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 10010000

Description
The character U+0F10, known as the Tibetan Mark NYIS TSHEG SHAD, plays a vital role in the Tibetan script system. As an integral component of the Unicode Standard, this character facilitates accurate digital text representation for the Tibetan language. In its typical usage, U+0F10 is utilized to indicate the aspirated "NYI" or "SHEG" sound when it appears at the beginning of a word in the Tibetan script. This specific phonetic distinction holds significant importance in the spoken and written forms of the Tibetan language. The use of U+0F10 helps maintain linguistic integrity and cultural continuity by enabling accurate digital communication of the rich literary heritage of the Tibetan people. Furthermore, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures compatibility across various platforms and applications, promoting global access to Tibetan literature, religious texts, and other culturally significant works.
