Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ឱ has the Unicode code point U+17B1. 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+17B1 to binary:
00010111 10110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+17B1, also known as the "Khmer Independent Vowel QOO Type One," is a character used within the Khmer script system, which is primarily employed for writing the Khmer language, predominantly spoken in Cambodia. The character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in linguistic and cultural contexts where Khmer is used. This specific vowel represents a short 'o' sound when used independently or modifies the sound of adjacent consonants within words. The Khmer script is an Abugida system, which means that it has its own unique set of typographic characteristics. U+17B1 contributes to these features and maintains the phonetic accuracy in written forms of the language.
