Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྣ has the Unicode code point U+0FA3. 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+0FA3 to binary:
00001111 10100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+0FA3 is the Unicode character code for "TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER NA" (ཊ), which plays a significant role in the Tibetan script. In digital text, it is used to represent the subjoined form of the letter 'NA', an essential component in Tibetan orthography. It is commonly employed when the preceding consonant is followed by the vowel sound 'A'. The Tibetan script has a complex system of characters and modifiers that allow for accurate representation of the unique phonetic and tonal features of the Tibetan language, and U+0FA3 is one such crucial element in this system. As part of the rich cultural heritage of Tibet, the character has deep linguistic and historical significance. It is used not only in religious texts but also in modern Tibetan literature and everyday communication among speakers of the Tibetan language. The Unicode encoding of Tibetan characters like U+0FA3 facilitates accurate digital representation and preservation of this ancient writing system, ensuring its survival and continued use in the digital age.
