Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ន has the Unicode code point U+1793. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1793 to binary:
00010111 10010011
. 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 10010011
KHMER LETTER NO·U+1793

Description
The Unicode character U+1793 is known as the "Khmer Letter No" and it plays a significant role in the Khmer language, which is primarily spoken in Cambodia. It's part of a larger set of scripts known for their unique angular characters that form one of the oldest complex writing systems in the world. The Khmer script has its roots dating back to the 7th century and has been used in various religious texts and historical documents. In digital text, U+1793 is utilized to accurately represent the 'No' character when encoding Khmer language texts in software or online platforms that support Unicode standards. Its accurate representation ensures cultural, linguistic, and technical accuracy, allowing for better understanding and communication among speakers of the Khmer language.
