Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧬ has the Unicode code point U+19EC. 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+19EC to binary:
00011001 11101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+19EC, known as the Khmer Symbol Dap-Pii Koet, is a unique symbol that holds significance in the Khmer script, predominantly used in Cambodia. As part of the digital text, this character serves a vital role in representing a specific sound or phonetic value within the Khmer language. The Khmer script itself, which dates back to the 7th century, is an abugida system that forms the basis for written communication in Cambodia. In the context of the Khmer script, U+19EC specifically represents the consonant 'DAP' followed by the vowel 'PI'. The Dap-Pii Koet symbol contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the Khmer language and its speakers. As a part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures proper representation and encoding in digital text, facilitating seamless communication across various platforms and applications. This allows for accurate documentation and preservation of the Cambodian culture, literature, and historical texts, as well as enabling greater accessibility to non-native speakers who wish to study or learn the Khmer language.
