Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ECF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0ECF to binary:
00001110 11001111
. 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:
11100000 10111011 10001111

Description
U+0ECF is a Unicode character that holds significant importance within the Khmer script, an abugida writing system used predominantly in the Cambodian language. The Khmer script, with its roots dating back to the 7th century, comprises over 100 characters, including vowels and consonants with diacritical marks that indicate tonal changes or modifying sounds. U+0ECF represents one such character in this rich script, playing a crucial role in conveying meaning within the Khmer language. As Unicode continues to facilitate global communication by providing a unique code point for every character, U+0ECF contributes to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity across the digital realm.
