Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྮ has the Unicode code point U+0FAE. 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+0FAE to binary:
00001111 10101110
. 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 10101110

Description
U+0FAE, the Tibetan Subjoined Letter Zha, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Tibetan script, which is primarily used for writing the Tibetic languages spoken in the Himalayan regions of China, India, and Nepal. This character is a subjoined letter, meaning it often combines with other letters to form complex consonants or modifiers in the Tibetan script. In digital text, U+0FAE ensures the accurate representation and preservation of traditional texts, contributing to the continuity of cultural heritage and knowledge. Its use in modern technology and digital communication helps maintain linguistic diversity and supports the efforts of language revitalization and preservation for future generations.
