Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៕ has the Unicode code point U+17D5. 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+17D5 to binary:
00010111 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+17D5 represents the "Khmer Sign Bariyosan" (គ្រីះ), which is a unique glyph used in the Khmer script. In digital text, this character typically serves as an accent or diacritical mark to modify the pronunciation or meaning of a base character in the Khmer language, one of the major languages spoken in Cambodia. This character is part of the Khmer Unicode block (U+17A2 to U+17FF), which consists of 35 characters specifically designed for the Khmer script. The Khmer script is a complete abugida, or a type of alphasyllabary, where each symbol represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound and can be modified by diacritical marks to indicate changes in pronunciation, tone, or stress. As such, the Khmer Sign Bariyosan plays a crucial role in accurately conveying the intended meaning of words within the Khmer language.
