Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨠ has the Unicode code point U+1A20. 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+1A20 to binary:
00011010 00100000. 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 10101000 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1A20, TAI THAM LETTER HIGH KA, is a typographical element used in the Thai script. It plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Thai language, which is widely spoken in Thailand and other regions where Thai communities are present. The Thai script is an abugida system, meaning that each character inherently carries information about vowels as well as consonants. In the case of U+1A20, it specifically represents the phoneme /k/, a voiceless velar plosive in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This letter is considered a high tone consonant in Thai orthography. The use of this character and others like it are essential for accurate and meaningful communication within the digital sphere, as they allow for the proper encoding and display of text in the Thai language across various devices and platforms.
