Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྌ has the Unicode code point U+0F8C. 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+0F8C to binary:
00001111 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+0F8C, also known as the Tibetan Sign Inverted Mchu Can, is a unique character in Unicode that plays a significant role in digital text representing the Tibetan script. In its typical usage, it serves as an integral part of the Tibetan language, which belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family and is predominantly spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and parts of India. This particular character helps convey specific linguistic nuances when used correctly in a text. The inverted Mchu Can character's design is based on traditional calligraphic elements used in the script, contributing to its cultural significance. It also reflects the rich history and heritage of Tibetan typography, which has evolved over centuries. In technical terms, the Unicode Consortium introduced U+0F8C as part of the Tibetan block in 2011, further emphasizing the importance of preserving and promoting diverse languages and scripts globally. Digital text using the Tibetan Sign Inverted Mchu Can demonstrates a commitment to accurate representation of linguistic information, ensuring effective communication among speakers of the Tibetan language or those studying it. Overall, U+0F8C is an essential component in the digital representation of Tibetan script and serves as a symbol of cultural preservation and linguistic diversity.
