Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ះ has the Unicode code point U+17C7. 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+17C7 to binary:
00010111 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+17C7, also known as Khmer Sign Reahmuk, is a typographic character primarily used within the Khmer script, which is the written form of the Khmer language spoken predominantly in Cambodia. This character serves an essential role in digital text by representing a specific phonetic or grammatical construct unique to the Khmer language. The Khmer script, which originated during the 10th century, features a rich history and cultural significance, with U+17C7 being one of over 500 characters in this script. In recent years, the adoption of Unicode has facilitated greater accessibility and understanding of these unique scripts, such as Khmer, enabling more effective communication and preservation of diverse linguistic and cultural heritages.
