Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ុ has the Unicode code point U+17BB. 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+17BB to binary:
00010111 10111011. 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 10011110 10111011

Description
U+17BB, or "Khmer Vowel Sign U," is a Unicode character that primarily serves as a component of the Khmer script, which is used to write the Khmer language, also known as Cambodian or Kmer. This script is the official writing system for the Khmer language, spoken mainly in Cambodia and by Cambodian communities worldwide. The Khmer Vowel Sign U (ហ) holds a crucial role in the phonetic representation of vowels in this script. It is an essential element in rendering accurate digital text representations of the Khmer language, facilitating effective communication among its speakers and ensuring the preservation of this rich cultural and linguistic heritage. In terms of technical context, U+17BB is part of the Supplemental Arlington block, which contains additional characters for use with the Khmer script to help represent its unique phonetic features.
