Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ៀ has the Unicode code point U+17C0. 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+17C0 to binary:
00010111 11000000. 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 10000000

Description
U+17C0, also known as the Khmer Vowel Sign IE, is a vital character in the Khmer script. This script is primarily used for writing the Khmer language, which is spoken predominantly in Cambodia, where it serves as the official language. The Khmer script has been around since the 12th century and is an abugida system with 34 consonants and 22 vowel signs, including U+17C0. In digital text, U+17C0 represents the long 'i' sound, making it a crucial element in accurately conveying meaning within the Khmer language. This character is essential for proper spelling and comprehension, ensuring that Khmer speakers can communicate effectively. The Khmer script has a rich cultural history, with its origins deeply rooted in ancient Southeast Asian civilization. The use of U+17C0 and other characters in the Khmer script demonstrates the linguistic diversity present within the region. As a result, U+17C0 plays an important role in preserving the distinct identity of the Khmer language and its speakers.
