Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ញ has the Unicode code point U+1789. 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+1789 to binary:
00010111 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1789 represents 'Khmer Letter Nyom' (ហ្យ) in the Khmer script, which is used primarily for writing the Khmer language, spoken mainly in Cambodia. In digital text, this letter holds a significant role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Khmer people. The Khmer script is an abugida system where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel 'a.' The inherent vowel can be changed by diacritical marks, one of which is U+1789. This letter is part of the Khmer Unicode block, which encompasses characters ranging from U+17A2 to U+17F0. In typography, using these characters accurately aids in the legibility and correct rendering of text for Khmer-speaking readers and supports efforts towards linguistic diversity and cultural preservation online.
