Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ឬ has the Unicode code point U+17AC. 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+17AC to binary:
00010111 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
The character U+17AC represents "KHMER INDEPENDENT VOWEL RYY" in the Unicode standard. It is primarily utilized in digital text related to the Khmer language, which is the official language of Cambodia. In this context, the character serves as an independent vowel that can be combined with consonants to form syllables in the Khmer script. The Khmer script is a complex system consisting of consonant-vowel combinations and diacritical marks, making U+17AC an essential component for accurate transcription of the language. This character holds cultural and linguistic significance as it represents one of the few independent vowels in the Khmer script, which allows for greater phonetic variety and expressiveness within the language.
