Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྺ has the Unicode code point U+0FBA. 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+0FBA to binary:
00001111 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+0FBA, known as TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER FIXED-FORM WA, is an essential element in digital text for the Tibetan language. It plays a crucial role in representing the phonetic and phonological aspects of the Tibetan script, which has been used for centuries to transcribe classical texts and religious works. In the context of written Tibetan, this specific character helps maintain the proper orthography and syllabic structure within words and phrases. The TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER FIXED-FORM WA is particularly significant in digital text due to its unique position in the fixed-form block of the Tibetan script. This system of subjoined letters allows for a compact and visually pleasing representation of the language, which is vital given the complexity and richness of the Tibetan writing system. The fixed-form approach ensures that specific combinations of characters maintain their intended phonetic values, providing greater accuracy in digital text processing and translation. Moreover, the use of U+0FBA reflects the cultural and linguistic importance of the Tibetan language, which has been preserved and passed down through generations. The character contributes to the continued preservation and promotion of this unique writing system in the digital age. As global interest in Tibetan culture, history, and religious traditions grows, the accurate representation of the language becomes increasingly important for both scholars and native speakers alike.
