Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ង has the Unicode code point U+1784. 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+1784 to binary:
00010111 10000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+1784 represents the Khmer letter 'Ngo' (អង់), which is a distinct symbol used in the Khmer script, an abugida writing system predominantly employed for the Khmer language, primarily spoken in Cambodia. In digital text, it serves its conventional role by representing the /ŋ/ sound and helps maintain the phonetic integrity of written words in the Khmer language. The letter 'Ngo' is derived from a combination of two other letters: 'Khao' (ក) and 'Go' (ហ). It is significant to note that the Khmer script is over a thousand years old, with its origins dating back to the 7th century, showcasing the rich cultural history and linguistic heritage of Cambodia.
