Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ់ has the Unicode code point U+17CB. 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+17CB to binary:
00010111 11001011. 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 10011111 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+17CB, known as the Khmer Sign Bantoc, is a specialized symbol used in the Khmer script. This script is primarily employed for writing the Khmer language, which is spoken by over 20 million people in Cambodia and other parts of Southeast Asia. As part of the Khmer script, U+17CB plays an essential role in digital text, as it contributes to the accurate representation of written content in the Khmer language. The character holds significance in both cultural and linguistic contexts, as it reflects the unique phonetic and structural characteristics of the Khmer script that have evolved over centuries. Despite its importance, U+17CB remains a niche character within the broader spectrum of Unicode characters, utilized primarily by those who are familiar with or study the Khmer language and culture.
