Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໖ has the Unicode code point U+0ED6. 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+0ED6 to binary:
00001110 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0ED6, known as LAO DIGIT SIX, holds significant importance in the realm of typography, particularly for languages that employ a digit-based numeral system like Lao. It is widely utilized in digital text to represent the numerical value of six within these scripts, serving as an integral component in various mathematical and numerical expressions. As part of the Lao script, which predominantly employs a unique combination of vowel and consonant characters to form its words, U+0ED6 is crucial for maintaining accurate communication in digital contexts. Its role in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating linguistic expression within the Lao-speaking community cannot be overstated, highlighting the essential nature of Unicode and its contributions to global typography.
