Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໘ has the Unicode code point U+0ED8. 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+0ED8 to binary:
00001110 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0ED8 represents the Lao digit eight (ຮ) in digital text. It is primarily used within the Lao script, which is employed for writing the Lao language, the official language of Laos. The Lao digit eight holds significance in both numeric and linguistic contexts, as it serves to differentiate between numbers and other characters in the Lao script. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+0ED8 ensures consistent representation and encoding across various platforms, contributing to the accurate interpretation and communication of digital text. Its role in typography is crucial for preserving the integrity of written Lao language, as well as enabling interoperability between different software applications and devices.
