Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ែ has the Unicode code point U+17C2. 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+17C2 to binary:
00010111 11000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+17C2, or the Khmer Vowel Sign AE, is a character from the Unicode Standard used primarily within digital texts. Its primary role is to represent a specific vowel sound in the Khmer script, which is the writing system of the Khmer language, widely spoken in Cambodia and other regions with significant Cambodian communities. The Khmer script, consisting of 33 consonants and 21 vowels, has been utilized since the 12th century, showcasing a rich linguistic and cultural heritage. U+17C2, or the 'AE' vowel sign, is used in conjunction with consonants to form syllables within the Khmer script, contributing to its distinctive visual style and phonetic system. The accurate representation of characters like U+17C2 in digital environments facilitates communication and preservation of the Khmer language's unique characteristics for future generations.
