Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྪ has the Unicode code point U+0FAA. 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+0FAA to binary:
00001111 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+0FAA, the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Tsha, is a crucial character in the Tibetan script, used extensively in digital texts that involve the Tibetan language. As an essential element of this script, it serves to modify the preceding consonant, creating new phonetic possibilities and expanding the expressive range of the language. The Tibetan script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant sound with an inherent "A" vowel. However, certain characters like U+0FAA are subjoined letters that change the characteristics of the preceding consonants, enabling a richer and more nuanced written expression. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, the Tibetan script is deeply rooted in the ancient Buddhist tradition, making the use of U+0FAA an important element in religious texts, literature, and academic studies on Tibetan language and culture. Therefore, its accurate representation and usage in digital text are vital for preserving and transmitting this heritage to future generations.
