Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྷ has the Unicode code point U+0FB7. 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+0FB7 to binary:
00001111 10110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+0FB7 is the Unicode code point for Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ha, a character commonly used in the Tibetan script. This character plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Tibetan language. The Tibetan script, which is primarily used for writing the Tibetan language, has a unique set of rules and structure that distinguish it from other scripts. One such rule involves subjoined letters, like U+0FB7, which are combined with preceding characters to form complex syllables or sounds. These subjoined letters often appear in consonant clusters or when certain vowels follow specific consonants. In digital text, the use of U+0FB7 ensures accurate representation of the Tibetan language's unique characteristics and phonetic nuances. This attention to detail is essential for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication within the Tibetan-speaking community.
