Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ດ has the Unicode code point U+0E94. 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+0E94 to binary:
00001110 10010100
. 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 10111010 10010100
LAO LETTER DO·U+0E94

Description
U+0E94 is the Unicode character code for LAO LETTER DO, which is a vital character in the Lao script. It plays a pivotal role in digital text, particularly within written communication in Laos and among the Lao-speaking community worldwide. The Lao script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant and an inherent vowel. U+0E94 specifically represents the consonant "d" with the inherent vowel "o". This character holds significant importance in various contexts, such as literature, language preservation, and digital communication within the Lao culture. The LAO LETTER DO contributes to the accurate representation of the Lao language in digital platforms, promoting cultural understanding and fostering effective communication among speakers.
