Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྕ has the Unicode code point U+0F95. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0F95 to binary:
00001111 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
U+0F95, or Tibetan Subjoined Letter CA, is a character from the Unicode Standard that plays a crucial role in representing the Tibetan script digitally. In its typical usage, it is employed within the context of the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken by ethnic Tibetans residing in regions such as Tibet, India, Bhutan, and Nepal. The character serves to combine with preceding letters to create unique syllables or consonants, contributing to the phonetic richness of the Tibetan language. This specific character, CA, is particularly significant due to its position in the Tibetan script's structure. It often combines with a vowel mark or a base consonant, allowing for a broader range of phonetic expressions within the language. The use of U+0F95 in digital text facilitates accurate representation and transmission of traditional Tibetan texts, ensuring that the cultural and linguistic heritage of this ancient script is preserved and accessible for future generations.
