Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྜྷ has the Unicode code point U+0F9D. 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+0F9D to binary:
00001111 10011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+0F9D is known as the "TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER DDHA". In digital text systems, this character serves a specific role in representing the Tibetan language, which has its own unique script system separate from other languages. This particular character is a subjoined letter form of the 'DDha' phoneme in the Tibetan script. Subjoined letters are used when following certain other consonant characters, indicating that the sound represented by that character should be followed by a 'DDha' phoneme. The use of U+0F9D in digital text is crucial for maintaining accuracy and readability in texts written in the Tibetan language, which has been spoken and written for over a thousand years. This character is essential for digital preservation of texts that are culturally significant or important to the Tibetan people, as well as for communication purposes among speakers of the language. The Tibetan script is part of a larger family of Indic scripts, which are a group of related scripts used in several South Asian and Southeast Asian languages. This means that U+0F9D is related to other characters in these scripts and its use can be better understood when considering the broader context of the Indic scripts. In terms of linguistic context, the character represents the sound 'DDha' in the Tibetan language. In phonetics, this sound involves a voiced alveolar stop followed by a high central unrounded vowel. The use of this character in the script is an important part of preserving the accuracy and integrity of the spoken and written forms of the Tibetan language. In conclusion, U+0F9D, the TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER DDHA, plays a crucial role in digital text systems by accurately representing the unique phonetic elements of the Tibetan language. Its usage is essential for the preservation and readability of texts in this ancient and culturally significant language.
