Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៦ has the Unicode code point U+17E6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+17E6 to binary:
00010111 11100110. 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 10011111 10100110

Description
U+17E6, known as the "Khmer Digit Six," holds significant importance within the Khmer script, an abugida writing system primarily used in Cambodia. The character serves as a numeral, representing the number six within various contexts, such as in numerical values, counting, or arithmetic operations. This digit is part of a larger set of 10 Khmer numerals (U+17E6 to U+17EF) that enable digital text communication and calculations for the Khmer language. The use of these numerals contributes to the preservation and promotion of the Cambodian cultural heritage, as well as facilitating literacy and numerical understanding among Khmer speakers.
