Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ឺ has the Unicode code point U+17BA. 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+17BA to binary:
00010111 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+17BA, known as the Khmer Vowel Sign YY, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation, specifically within the Khmer script, which is used for writing the Khmer language, primarily spoken in Cambodia. This script is an abugida system, where each syllable is represented by a consonant followed by a vowel diacritic. The Khmer Vowel Sign YY represents one of the five vowels in this script, and its typical usage is to modify the sound of preceding consonants to form complete syllables. The character U+17BA contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the Khmer people by enabling accurate digital representation of their language. This, in turn, fosters cultural exchange, preservation, and understanding among speakers and non-speakers of the language alike. As part of the Unicode standard, U+17BA ensures interoperability across various digital platforms, applications, and systems, thereby facilitating global communication and information accessibility. In summary, the Khmer Vowel Sign YY (U+17BA) is an essential component of the Khmer script that accurately represents one of its vowels in digital text, contributing to cultural preservation and global understanding through Unicode's standardized representation system.
