Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྜ has the Unicode code point U+0F9C. 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+0F9C to binary:
00001111 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+0F9C is the Unicode representation for the Tibetan Subjoined Letter DDA (ङ). This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Tibetan script. As part of the broader Tibetan writing system, it is crucial for accurate transcription and translation of texts in this linguistic domain. The Tibetan script, primarily used by the Tibetan people in the Tibet Autonomous Region and other areas of China, India, Bhutan, and Nepal, has a rich history dating back to the 7th century AD. Its unique subjoined letters are part of what makes the script visually distinct and culturally significant. The character U+0F9C contributes to this uniqueness by representing the sound "d" when placed in certain positions within words, exhibiting the complex phonological and orthographic rules that govern the Tibetan writing system.
