Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ། has the Unicode code point U+0F0D. 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+0F0D to binary:
00001111 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0F0D, known as the "TIBETAN MARK SHAD," serves a crucial role in Tibetan digital typography. As part of the Tibetan script, it is used to denote specific phonetic and grammatical characteristics within the language. In the context of Tibetan language, this character helps differentiate between words or phrases that may otherwise appear identical. However, U+0F0D has limited usage outside of its specific linguistic context due to the niche nature of the Tibetan script. Nevertheless, in the realm of digital text and typography, especially for languages with complex scripts like Tibetan, characters such as U+0F0D are essential for maintaining accuracy and clarity.
