Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ི has the Unicode code point U+0F72. 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+0F72 to binary:
00001111 01110010
. 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 10110010

Description
U+0F72 is the Unicode code point for the Tibetan Vowel Sign I (ཉ). This character is an essential element in digital text representation of the Tibetan language. In Tibetan orthography, it serves as a vowel sign, modifying the sound and meaning of consonants with which it is combined. The character has a significant role in preserving and transmitting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances of the Tibetan language. U+0F72 is part of the Tibetan script block within the Unicode Standard, which aims to include all the characters required for writing and encoding text from virtually every written language in the world. As an expert in typography and Unicode, it's crucial to accurately represent and understand such characters to ensure proper communication and understanding across different digital platforms and applications.
