Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ཱ has the Unicode code point U+0F71. 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+0F71 to binary:
00001111 01110001. 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 10111101 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+0F71 represents the Tibetan Vowel Sign AA (ེ), a crucial component of the Tibetan script used in written communication in the Tibetan language. In digital text, this glyph serves as a diacritic to modify the pronunciation and meaning of consonant characters it is attached to. The Tibetan script, which belongs to the Indo-Tibetan branch of the Brahmic script family, holds significant cultural, religious, and historical importance for the Tibetan people. As part of an ancient writing system that dates back over a millennium, U+0F71 plays a vital role in preserving and transmitting Tibetan literature, including sacred texts, poetry, and historical documents.
