Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྭ has the Unicode code point U+0FAD. 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+0FAD to binary:
00001111 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0FAD, also known as the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Wa (ཧ), plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Tibetan script. In the context of typography and digital communication, this character is used to represent a specific sound or phoneme in the Tibetan language. It is an essential component of the Unicode Standard, which aims to ensure consistent encoding and display of text across different platforms, devices, and applications. The U+0FAD character is particularly significant for scholars, linguists, and researchers studying the rich history and cultural heritage of the Tibetan language and its various dialects. By accurately representing this subjoined letter in digital form, Unicode enables the preservation and transmission of valuable linguistic information and supports the ongoing evolution of the Tibetan script.
