Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྶ has the Unicode code point U+0FB6. 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+0FB6 to binary:
00001111 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0FB6, known as the Tibetan Subjoined Letter SA, plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Tibetan script. This character is typically used in digital representations of written Tibetan to denote the subjoining of the letter SA, which indicates a unique pronunciation or combination with another letter in certain linguistic contexts. The Tibetan script is an abugida system, which means each letter represents a consonant and inherently contains the implied vowel 'a'. In the case of U+0FB6, it primarily serves to modify the sound of the preceding consonant when combined, reflecting the complexities and nuances of the Tibetan language. It is essential for accurate digital text representation in linguistic, cultural, and technical contexts, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of the rich Tibetan literary heritage.
