Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໓ has the Unicode code point U+0ED3. 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+0ED3 to binary:
00001110 11010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+0ED3 represents the numeral '๓', also known as the "LAO DIGIT THREE". In digital text, it is commonly used in the Thai script and other languages that utilize the Thai-based numeric system. This system was adapted from the ancient Indian numerals, which were later modified by Thai scholars to suit their language's phonological structure. The 'LAO DIGIT THREE' serves as a significant numeral in the LAO script due to its cultural and linguistic relevance. It is not only used in everyday communication but also in technical contexts like computing, data representation, and programming languages.
