Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៑ has the Unicode code point U+17D1. 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+17D1 to binary:
00010111 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+17D1 Khmer Sign Viriam is a character within the Unicode standard that represents an ancient symbol from the Khmer script. This script was primarily used in Cambodia for writing the Khmer language, which is still spoken by millions of people today. The Viriam sign, specifically, is not widely used in modern Khmer text, but it holds historical and cultural significance as one of the many unique characters that form the rich typography of the script. In digital text, its usage is primarily limited to academic or linguistic contexts where such ancient symbols are discussed or studied. U+17D1 Khmer Sign Viriam serves as a valuable example of the diverse range of characters within the Unicode standard, illustrating the extensive cultural and historical knowledge preserved through typography.
