Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྲ has the Unicode code point U+0FB2. 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+0FB2 to binary:
00001111 10110010
. 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 10110010

Description
U+0FB2, the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Ra, is a specialized character primarily used within the Tibetan script. It's crucial for accurate digital representation of the rich heritage of the Tibetan language. In the context of Unicode, it plays an essential role in encoding text for accurate display and processing across various platforms and applications. The usage of U+0FB2 typically occurs in the context of written Tibetan texts, where it serves as a subjoined letter, meaning it's placed above or below other characters to form complex syllables or words. This allows for a richer expression of the language's nuances and phonetic aspects, contributing significantly to cultural preservation and linguistic authenticity. Given its unique functionality within the Tibetan script system, U+0FB2 is a vital component in digital typography, ensuring correct representation and understanding of Tibetan texts online or in software applications. Its precise encoding and usage help maintain linguistic integrity while fostering accessibility to this fascinating language and culture for learners and enthusiasts worldwide.
