Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ྀ has the Unicode code point U+0F80. 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+0F80 to binary:
00001111 10000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0F80, known as the Tibetan Vowel Sign Reversed I (࿐), plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific vowel sound in the Tibetan language. In the written form of this language, it is used to indicate the reversed "i" sound, which is unique to the Tibetan script. This character is part of the Tibetan Script block in Unicode and is commonly employed in typography for accurate and clear representation of texts in the Tibetan language. The use of U+0F80 ensures the preservation and accessibility of the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances inherent to this ancient script, which is an essential aspect of Tibetan literature, religious texts, and contemporary communications.
