Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ོ has the Unicode code point U+0F7C. 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+0F7C to binary:
00001111 01111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+0F7C, known as the "TIBETAN VOWEL SIGN O", is an essential element in digital Tibetan language text, particularly for the representation of vowel sounds. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural authenticity of written Tibetan language in various digital platforms. It belongs to the Tibetan script, which has been in use since the 7th century AD. The U+0F7C is part of the Tibetan language block, which was added to the Unicode standard in Version 5.1 in 2008. This addition facilitated a more accurate and consistent representation of the Tibetan script across different digital devices and platforms, thus enhancing accessibility and preservation of this ancient script. The U+0F7C, like other vowel signs in the Tibetan script, is used to indicate the pronunciation and stress patterns within words, contributing to the overall clarity and comprehension of the text. As a result, the accurate use of the U+0F7C and other related characters is vital for maintaining linguistic precision and cultural fidelity in digital Tibetan language texts.
