Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྒ has the Unicode code point U+0F92. 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+0F92 to binary:
00001111 10010010
. 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 10010010

Description
U+0F92, the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ga, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Tibetan script. In written form, it serves as a subjoiner to the main letter GA (U+0F72) and helps to differentiate between distinct consonant-vowel combinations in this ancient language. The character has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, as it ensures accurate representation of the Tibetan script, which has been used for centuries to write texts related to Buddhism, literature, history, and culture of the Tibetan people. The use of U+0F92 in digital text upholds the rich tradition of the Tibetan language and supports its continued use in modern communication and technology.
