Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ུ has the Unicode code point U+0F74. 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+0F74 to binary:
00001111 01110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0F74, known as the Tibetan Vowel Sign U, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing the vowel sound "u" in the Tibetan script. As part of the Tibetan language, which is primarily spoken in the Tibet Autonomous Region and by Tibetan communities across China, India, and Bhutan, this character contributes to the accurate transcription of written communication in the region. The Tibetan script, which dates back to the 7th century AD, is a unique abugida system where each consonant is followed by an inherent vowel sound, represented by specific characters like U+0F74. This linguistic feature allows for efficient writing and clear expression of various vocalic nuances in Tibetan literature, religious texts, and contemporary communications.
