Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៣ has the Unicode code point U+17E3. 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+17E3 to binary:
00010111 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
The character U+17E3, known as "KHMER DIGIT THREE," is an essential component of the Khmer script, which is the writing system used for the Khmer language, the official language of Cambodia. This digit is primarily employed in digital text to represent the numerical value of 'three' within numeric contexts, such as dates, phone numbers, addresses, and other quantitative data. The Khmer script is an abugida, meaning that each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds, and it features a unique combination of vertical and horizontal strokes that give it a distinctive aesthetic when compared to other writing systems. U+17E3, as a numeric digit, plays a critical role in Khmer language communication and information representation, reflecting the linguistic and cultural heritage of Cambodia and its speakers.
