Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ឭ has the Unicode code point U+17AD. 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+17AD to binary:
00010111 10101101. 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 10011110 10101101

Description
U+17AD is a unique Unicode character representing the Khmer Independent Vowel Ly (ហៅ). In digital texts, this character is commonly employed in the Khmer script system, which is used primarily for written communication in Cambodia. The Khmer script is an abugida, meaning that it combines consonant and vowel sounds, with certain characters acting as base glyphs carrying inherent vowels, and others functioning as independent vowels like U+17AD that modify the base character's sound. This linguistic feature allows for a more concise representation of phonemes and is integral to the Khmer language's efficient writing system. In technical terms, the character code U+17AD is part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates global digital text exchange by providing a unique numerical value for every character in over 100 scripts.
