Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྤ has the Unicode code point U+0FA4. 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+0FA4 to binary:
00001111 10100100. 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 10100100

Description
U+0FA4 is a typographical character known as the Tibetan Subjoined Letter PA. In digital text, this Unicode character serves to represent a specific phonetic sound in the Tibetan language, specifically denoting the consonant "pa" when used in conjunction with certain other letters. Its primary usage can be observed within the context of written Tibetan language, where it assists in rendering the phonetic complexity and linguistic nuances of the Tibetan script accurately. The character is integral to the proper representation and understanding of the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken in Tibet and certain parts of China, Nepal, and Bhutan. U+0FA4's cultural significance lies in its role as a component of the ancient script system used for writing Tibetan Buddhist texts and literature, which have been instrumental in the spread of Buddhism across Asia. In terms of technical context, the Unicode character U+0FA4 is part of the extensive Unicode Standard, a coding system designed to represent all known characters from all written languages. This standard facilitates accurate digital communication and preservation of various scripts and languages, including Tibetan, thereby ensuring that valuable cultural heritage is not lost in translation or misrepresented due to character encoding issues.
