Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A56. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0A56 to binary:
00001010 01010110
. 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 10101001 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0A56 represents the "ហ" (kha) letter from the Khmer script. This script is used primarily in written communication within Cambodia and among Khmer speakers worldwide. The kha letter is considered an initial consonant, and when followed by a vowel sign, it forms a syllable. U+0A56 plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Khmer script, which is essential for maintaining cultural heritage, promoting language revitalization, and supporting effective communication among the Khmer-speaking population. The Khmer script has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, and its preservation is crucial for documenting and understanding Cambodian culture and history.
