Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᤀ has the Unicode code point U+1900. 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+1900 to binary:
00011001 00000000. 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:
11100001 10100100 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1900, known as the Limbu Vowel-Carrier Letter, serves a crucial role in digital typography, specifically within the Limbu script used for the Limbu language, spoken by the Limbu people residing primarily in eastern Nepal. This vowel-carrier letter is significant for its contribution to the proper rendering and interpretation of written text in the Limbu language, which is an Indo-Aryan language. U+1900 is part of a larger set of characters that together form the digital representation of the Limbu script, which is encoded under the Unicode block "Limbu" (U+1900 to U+194F). The utilization of U+1900 ensures accurate linguistic and cultural representation in digital text, preserving the richness and uniqueness of the Limbu language for future generations.
