Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧼ has the Unicode code point U+19FC. 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+19FC to binary:
00011001 11111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+19FC (Khmer Symbol Dap-Pii Roc) is a unique typographic character from the Khmer script, primarily used in digital text for its distinct symbolism in the ancient and complex writing system of Cambodia. This symbol plays an essential role in conveying specific linguistic nuances within the Khmer language, which has been influenced by Sanskrit, Pali, and Old Chinese scripts. U+19FC is a vital component in representing the historical and cultural aspects of the Khmer script, which dates back to the 5th century AD. Its use is mainly limited to digital environments due to the scarcity of physical media and its rarity in modern day usage. The character holds technical significance as it demonstrates the richness and depth of the Unicode system, which aims to accommodate a wide range of scripts from different languages around the world, promoting global communication and understanding.
