Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ហ has the Unicode code point U+17A0. 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+17A0 to binary:
00010111 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+17A0, Khmer Letter Ha (ហ), is a fundamental element of the Khmer script, which is used to write the official language of Cambodia. As part of this script, it plays a crucial role in digital text, enabling accurate representation and communication within the Khmer language. The Khmer script is an abugida system, where each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a'. In the case of U+17A0, the base consonant is 'h' or 'ha' when no vowel shift is applied. This character is essential for transcribing words in Khmer, contributing to its rich literary heritage and supporting a wide range of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is vital to recognize the significance of U+17A0 within the broader scope of global digital communication and linguistic diversity.
