Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧪ has the Unicode code point U+19EA. 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+19EA to binary:
00011001 11101010
. 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 10100111 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+19EA, known as "Khmer Symbol Dap Koet," holds a significant place in the Khmer script, which is primarily used for writing the Cambodian language. This symbol, though less common in modern digital text usage, has been employed historically to represent specific phonetic and grammatical elements in Khmer literature, including poetry and traditional texts. Its role in the script highlights the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Cambodia, which has been preserved and passed down through generations. As an essential part of this ancient writing system, U+19EA contributes to the understanding and appreciation of the Khmer language's history and traditions. In terms of technical context, the Khmer script, including U+19EA, is a complex and sophisticated writing system with distinct characters for representing vowels and consonants, allowing for an extensive range of sounds in the Cambodian language.
