Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໔ has the Unicode code point U+0ED4. 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+0ED4 to binary:
00001110 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0ED4, known as LAO DIGIT FOUR, holds a significant position in the realm of typography, particularly in digital texts. As part of the Lao script, this character represents the numeral "four" and is indispensable in various applications including mathematics, programming, and statistical data analysis. Although it may seem like just another digit, U+0ED4 plays a crucial role in the Lao language, an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily in Laos and northeastern Thailand. The Lao script is written from left to right, making U+0ED4 a fundamental element in constructing numbers within this linguistic context. As digitalization continues to shape our world, characters like U+0ED4 become increasingly vital for facilitating accurate communication across diverse languages and cultures.
