Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྐྵ has the Unicode code point U+0FB9. 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+0FB9 to binary:
00001111 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
The character U+0FB9, or TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER KSSA, plays a crucial role in the Tibetan script system. In digital text, it is often employed as part of the larger process of composing text in the classical Tibetan language, which uses a unique combination of letters and syllables to form words. This specific character is a subjoined letter, meaning it is used primarily in conjunction with other characters to create compound letters or ligatures. It's important to note that the usage of U+0FB9 is primarily found within the context of classical Tibetan literature, religious texts, and modern scholarly works. Furthermore, it reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan people and serves as a vital element in preserving their language and history.
