Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྛ has the Unicode code point U+0F9B. 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+0F9B to binary:
00001111 10011011
. 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 10011011

Description
U+0F9B Tibetan Subjoined Letter TTHA is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance within the Tibetan language. In digital text, it serves as part of the unique script used for writing the Tibetan language, which predominantly belongs to the Tibeto-Burman linguistic group. The character is subjoined, meaning it is usually paired with an initial or medial letter in a word, and it is often combined with other Tibetan characters to form complex syllables. This character's cultural and linguistic context lies in the rich history of the Tibetan language, which has been used for centuries in religious, literary, and everyday communication. U+0F9B TTHA specifically contributes to the orthographic structure of the Tibetan script, a logosyllabic system that visually represents both the phonetic and semantic aspects of speech. In terms of technical context, U+0F9B TIBETAN SUBJOINED LETTER TTHA is part of the Unicode block "Tibetan" (U+0F00 to U+0FFF), which comprises 367 characters that include letters, punctuation marks, and various symbols unique to the Tibetan script. Its accurate representation in digital text is essential for maintaining the integrity of Tibetan language documents and preserving cultural heritage.
