Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៷ has the Unicode code point U+17F7. 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+17F7 to binary:
00010111 11110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+17F7, known as the Khmer Symbol Lek Attak Pram-Pii, holds significant importance within the digital text sphere due to its role in the Khmer language, which is primarily spoken in Cambodia. This symbol is used in specific contexts within the Khmer script system, a writing system that has been in use for over a millennium. The Lek Attak Pram-Pii symbol itself is characterized by its unique shape and form, distinguishing it from other characters in the Khmer script. While not widely recognized or used outside of Cambodia, its importance lies in preserving and representing the rich linguistic and cultural history embedded within the Khmer language and script. As more digital platforms adopt Unicode standards, characters such as U+17F7 become increasingly accessible to a global audience, further promoting cultural exchange and understanding.
