Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྻ has the Unicode code point U+0FBB. 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+0FBB to binary:
00001111 10111011
. 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 10111011

Description
U+0FBB is a Unicode character representing the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Fixed-Form Ya (ཏ). This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the Tibetan script, which is an abugida writing system native to the Tibetan language. As part of the extended range of Unicode characters allocated for Tibetan scripts, U+0FBB plays a crucial role in accurately representing the linguistic nuances and cultural significance of the Tibetan language in digital contexts. The character is particularly essential for applications that require the display or processing of text written in the Tibetan script, such as typography software, e-books, websites, and other digital platforms that facilitate communication in languages using non-Latin scripts.
