Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྐ has the Unicode code point U+0F90. 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+0F90 to binary:
00001111 10010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F90, known as the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ka, is an essential component of the Tibetan script. In digital text, this character is used to represent a specific phonetic sound in the Tibetan language. The Tibetan script is primarily used by Tibetans and Buddhists across the world, making U+0F90 vital for the accurate representation of religious texts, cultural literature, and other writings in the Tibetan language. This character plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Tibet. As part of the Tibetan script, which is based on an Indic script, U+0F90 contributes to a writing system that is over a thousand years old. Its subjoined position indicates it follows another letter or syllable block, forming compound characters and enabling the efficient representation of complex phonological rules in the Tibetan language. As with other Unicode characters, the accurate use and understanding of U+0F90 are crucial for maintaining cultural integrity and facilitating communication in digital spaces.
