Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ២ has the Unicode code point U+17E2. 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+17E2 to binary:
00010111 11100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+17E2 represents the Khmer digit two in digital text. This digit is part of the Khmer script, which is primarily used for writing the Khmer language, also known as Cambodian or Kampuchean. The Khmer script originated in the 10th century and has since become the primary writing system in Cambodia. U+17E2, like other characters in the Khmer script, serves a crucial role in encoding and displaying text in the Khmer language digitally, enabling communication and information exchange among Cambodian speakers and with people from other linguistic backgrounds. The Unicode Standard, which includes U+17E2, facilitates interoperability between different platforms, applications, and devices by providing a unique code point for each character in the vast array of world languages and scripts.
