Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧺ has the Unicode code point U+19FA. 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+19FA to binary:
00011001 11111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+19FA is known as the Khmer Symbol Dap Roc, a typographical symbol originating from the ancient Khmer script of Cambodia. This symbol has a crucial role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Khmer language and its historical literature. As part of a rich cultural tradition, it was used to represent a specific sound or phonetic value in the ancient scripts. Although the Khmer script has evolved over time and modern Cambodian uses the Latin alphabet, the Unicode character U+19FA still holds significance for those studying ancient manuscripts, linguists interested in historical language development, and digital humanities scholars working with early Khmer texts. The symbol's continued inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates its importance in preserving cultural heritage and ensuring accurate representation of these historical artifacts in modern digital platforms.
