Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ស has the Unicode code point U+179F. 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+179F to binary:
00010111 10011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+179F, known as Khmer Letter SA, is a vital component of the Khmer script, which is primarily used to represent the Khmer language spoken predominantly in Cambodia. Khmer is an Austroasiatic language and is part of the Mon-Khmer subfamily of languages. U+179F plays a significant role in digital text by allowing accurate representation and transmission of the Khmer script over various platforms and devices. The Khmer script, which has been in use since the 5th century AD, is characterized by its unique shape, with each character representing either a consonant or a combination of consonants with accompanying vowels. As such, U+179F contributes to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Cambodia and the Khmer-speaking community worldwide.
