Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໝ has the Unicode code point U+0EDD. 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+0EDD to binary:
00001110 11011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+0EDD, known as "LAO HO MO," is a vital symbol in the Thai language, which uses the Tamil script for its written form. Typically used in digital text, it represents the phonetic sound /hɔː/. In Thai culture and linguistics, this character plays a significant role due to its contribution to the phonological structure of the Thai language, allowing for accurate pronunciation and comprehension among native speakers. U+0EDD is an essential component in digital communication, particularly within the context of the Thai language, as it ensures that text remains accurately transcribed and understood in both written and spoken forms.
