Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ឮ has the Unicode code point U+17AE. 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+17AE to binary:
00010111 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+17AE, also known as the Khmer Independent Vowel LYY, is a crucial character in the digital representation of the Khmer script, which is primarily used for writing the Khmer language, the official language of Cambodia. The Khmer script, an abugida system, employs U+17AE as an independent vowel, signifying the vowel sound /ɨ/ or //ji// in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This character is essential for accurate transcription and translation of textual content within digital platforms, enabling effective communication and preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage. In technical terms, U+17AE plays a vital role in the encoding process, ensuring that the Khmer script is accurately displayed on digital devices and platforms.
