Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໗ has the Unicode code point U+0ED7. 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+0ED7 to binary:
00001110 11010111
. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+0ED7 represents the Lao digit seven (ອື່ງ), which is used in the numeral system of the Lao language, spoken by approximately 3 million people primarily in Laos and northeastern Thailand. In digital text, this symbol serves as a numerical digit with a value of seven, playing a crucial role in various applications like accounting, finance, and mathematics within the Lao-speaking community. The Lao script is an abugida system, where each syllable is composed of a consonant followed by a vowel, and U+0ED7 contributes to this system as part of numeric values. As with other digits in the Lao script, U+0ED7 retains its unique typographic style, which distinguishes it from its counterparts in other scripts, such as Arabic or Devanagari.
