Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ༀ has the Unicode code point U+0F00. 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+0F00 to binary:
00001111 00000000. 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 10111100 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F00, known as the Tibetan Syllable OM, is a crucial element in the Tibetan script system. In digital text, it represents the "Om" syllable, which carries significant cultural, linguistic, and spiritual connotations within the Buddhist tradition, particularly in Tibetan Buddhism. The character is used to transcribe this essential mantra, often recited during meditation, rituals, and other religious practices. The Tibetan script, which uses a unique set of characters for both consonants and vowels, draws from both the Indian Brahmi script and the classical Mongolian script. U+0F00 is one of over 700 Unicode characters specifically designated for the Tibetan language, reflecting the richness and diversity of its written tradition.
