Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྰ has the Unicode code point U+0FB0. 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+0FB0 to binary:
00001111 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+0FB0, also known as Tibetan Subjoined Letter A, is a character from the Unicode Standard that plays a crucial role in the representation of written Tibetan language in digital text. This letter serves as the base or initial consonant for creating syllables in the Tibetan script, which has a unique system of subjoined and overlined characters. In this context, U+0FB0 is typically used to represent the "A" sound at the beginning of a syllable when it follows certain other consonants or specific phonetic rules. As part of an ancient writing system with deep cultural, religious, and historical significance in Tibet, U+0FB0 contributes to the preservation and transmission of valuable knowledge, literature, and teachings within the Tibetan-speaking community. In terms of technical context, this character is encoded in the Unicode Standard version 3.2 or later, making it accessible for accurate and consistent representation across various digital platforms and applications.
