Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྴ has the Unicode code point U+0FB4. 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+0FB4 to binary:
00001111 10110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+0FB4 is the Unicode code point for Tibetan Subjoined Letter Sha (ཊ). It plays a significant role in digital text as it represents a letter in the Tibetan script, which is used predominantly in the Tibetan language. The Tibetan script is an abugida system where each character represents a syllable and is derived from the classical Tibetan cursive script. U+0FB4, specifically, is a subjoined letter, meaning it is commonly combined with other characters to form complex syllables in the Tibetan script. This feature allows for more compact and efficient representation of the language in digital text, such as in electronic documents, websites, and mobile applications. The use of U+0FB4 and other Unicode characters enables accurate encoding and display of Tibetan text across various platforms and devices, thus preserving and promoting cultural heritage and linguistic diversity.
