Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㍅ has the Unicode code point U+3345. 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+3345 to binary:
00110011 01000101. 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:
11100011 10001101 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+3345, also known as SQUARE MAHHA, is a typographic symbol with a specific role in digital text. This character is primarily used in Thai language typography to represent the tone 32 in the AIUT (Automatic Interpretation of Thai Utterances) system. The AIUT system was developed by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC), a research institute in Thailand, as an effort to make text-to-speech technology more accurate for the Thai language. SQUARE MAHHA is used alongside other similar characters such as U+3346, U+3347, and U+3348 in this system. As digital typography and AI continue to evolve, the significance of characters like SQUARE MAHHA will likely increase in importance for the accurate interpretation and translation of the Thai language.
