Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ណ has the Unicode code point U+178E. 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+178E to binary:
00010111 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+178E, or KHMER LETTER NNO, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard, specifically belonging to the Khmer script. This specific letter holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the context of digital text and communication. In digital text environments, Khmer Letter NNO (U+178E) primarily serves its role as an alphabetic component within the Khmer language, which is predominantly spoken in Cambodia. The Khmer script, consisting of 34 consonants and 23 vowels, is based on Brahmi script, with a rich history dating back to the 1st millennium AD. KHMER LETTER NNO (U+178E) represents an important linguistic distinction within the Khmer language, as it is one of three variations for the sound /n/. The other two are U+178F, KHMER LETTER AN and U+1790, KHMER LETTER SN. These distinctions allow for precise communication in the Khmer language, which has approximately 25 million speakers. Technically, U+178E is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character across various writing systems worldwide. This standardization ensures seamless interoperability and exchange of text data across different platforms and devices, maintaining accuracy and readability in digital communications.
